How does the anesthesia circulate into the system if there’s no respiration or circulation? Is it local and they just administer it with a needle into likely reflex points?
There is respiration and circulation, otherwise you’d be dead.
Interestingly enough, it appears that no one really knows why anesthesia “works” they way it does.
You’re unconscious, but still breathing etc.. The autonomous functions continue, but everything else turned off.
