Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons ...

The calcium current is largest during the falling phase of the action potential but is often outweighed by calcium-activated potassium current, activated by extremely rapid coupling to calcium entry.
