Final answer:

General anesthetics block awareness of painful stimuli, induce unconsciousness, and provide various effects such as immobility and analgesia.


Explanation:

General anesthetics are drugs that induce a loss of consciousness and insensitivity to pain by acting on the brain.

They block the awareness of painful stimuli and allow for medical procedures without the sensation of pain.

General anesthetics are distinct from analgesics and sedatives, offering immobility, analgesia, amnesia, unconsciousness, and reduced autonomic responsiveness.
