Sense of awareness of self and of the environment.<\/p>\n
A state of being aware, conscious.<\/p>\n
The state of being mentally alert and knowing what is happening.<\/p>\n
The knowledge or awareness of what is happening around oneself. A person in a state of consciousness is cognizant of external stimuli, sensations (especially visual and auditory), and feelings. A conscious individual is awake, is able to feel and think, and knows what he or she is doing and intends to do. The spinal cord is the first relay point for sensory information en route to brain centers. Conscious thought and memory depend on the proper functioning of the brain, especially the cerebral cortex. A host of circumstances, from injury to disease, can lead to a disturbance of consciousness. Symptoms of this include impaired attention, concentration, and understanding. If the level of consciousness continues to deteriorate, a person may pass into a state of stupor and then coma.<\/p>\n
The state of being aware of physical events or mental concepts. A conscious person is awake and responsive to his or her surroundings.<\/p>\n
Arousal accompanied by awareness of one’s environment. In practice, consciousness is said to be present when a person is awake, alert, and oriented to his or her surroundings (i.e., where one is , who one is, what the date is).<\/p>\n
A state of heightened awareness, where an individual possesses complete consciousness of their thoughts, surroundings, and intentions, is referred to as wakefulness.<\/p>\n
To possess self-awareness and the ability to comprehend one’s surroundings and the events occurring within them.<\/p>\n
