Across
  1. 2. The process by which a calcium channel stops conducting ions despite continued depolarization
  2. 4. Channel The calcium channel blocked by CCBs, mainly found in heart and smooth muscle
  3. 6. Transmission Process where calcium influx leads to neurotransmitter release
  4. 7. Voltage Activated Type of voltage-gated calcium channel that requires strong depolarization
  5. 9. Release Process regulated by voltage-gated calcium channels in nerve terminals
  6. 13. The process that opens voltage-gated calcium channels
  7. 14. Cells Tissues like nerves and muscles where voltage-gated ion channels are active
  8. 15. Light Chain Kinase Enzyme activated by calcium-calmodulin complex in smooth muscle
Down
  1. 1. Filter Part of the calcium channel that ensures only calcium ions pass through
  2. 3. Potential Electrical signal that triggers calcium influx in excitable cells
  3. 5. Channel A low-voltage activated calcium channel involved in pacemaker activity
  4. 8. The cell membrane of muscle cells where calcium channels are found
  5. 10. Firing Voltage-gated calcium channels regulate this process in the nervous system
  6. 11. Calcium-binding protein that activates myosin light chain kinase
  7. 12. Permeable Pore Formed by the α1 subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels
