What is the physiological difference between sleep, unconsciousness and anaesthesia?
In: Biology
I’m no expert but this is what I understand. Sleep is regenerative and has cycles that help us remember things and get ready for the day.
Anesthesia: I’ve heard scientists still don’t understand how or why it works. Some say it has the ability paralyze us for operation BUT THE REASON it works out well for the patient is because it prevents us from forming memories. So your body is still feeling everything but it’s not traumatic because you can’t record anything.
Unconsciousness would be essentially soulless. I’m guessing your body could be alive with machines but without a response from the person I’m guessing that would be unconscious.
