• C) cross into the brain, where they can modulate neuronal membranes to produce a state of anesthesia.
• D) Nitrous oxide, desflurane, and sevoflurane have blood:gas partition coefficients that are less than the blood:gas partition coefficients of halothane and enflurane.
• E) All of these are correct.
