AB The  medical  cellular  biology  of  living  human  cells  in  the  context  of  anesthesia  is  an  elaboration  of  Chapters  1  and  2,  where  we  reviewed  fundamental  cellular  function/metabolism  as  well  as  neuromuscular  physiology.  Cellular  biology  is  based  on  the  fundamental  laws  of  nature  embodied  in  chemistry  and  physics  whereas  anesthesia  can  be  broadly  defined  as  a  drug-induced  reversible  depression  of  the  CNS  resulting  in  loss  of  response  to  and  perception  of  all  external  stimuli.1  Even  more  precise,  clinical  anesthesia  can  be  depicted  as  a  collection  of  five  changes  in  perception—amnesia,  analgesia,  unconsciousness,  attenuation  of  autonomic  responses,  and  immobility.  Hundreds  of  millions  of  patients  receive  anesthesia  care  each  year,  making  this  topic  critical  to  sound  patient  care  and  clinical  practice.
