Ether will impair the function of the nerves. It does not leave any permanent damage, however. Ether anesthetic may cause side effects such as nausea.
no, just temporary
No, it has no lasting effect because it impairs the ability of nerve fibers to function (blocks nerve transmission).

Vagus nerve
Ether can enhance the excitability of nerve cell membranes, leading to a decrease in the threshold for action potential generation. This can result in an increase in the frequency and amplitude of action potentials.

stimulants increase activity and depressants decrease activity.
The sphincter that opens when food or fluids exert pressure on it is the gastroesophageal sphincter. Closure of the sphincter is under the control of the vagus nerve.
temporal summation
Ether blocks action potentials by disrupting the function of ion channels in neuron membranes, particularly sodium channels. It alters the membrane's lipid environment, leading to a decreased excitability of neurons. This prevents the rapid influx of sodium ions necessary for depolarization during an action potential, ultimately inhibiting neuronal signaling. As a result, nerve conduction is impaired, which contributes to its anesthetic effects.
Spinal accessory
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) is responsible for regulating visceral activity. It plays a key role in controlling various internal organs, including the heart, lungs, and digestive system.
