A researcher studying synaptic transmission notices that when she stimulates the presynaptic neuron, calcium enters the axon terminal and triggers neurotransmitter release. However, she observes that calcium entry occurs through voltage-gated calcium channels, not sodium channels. Why don't action potentials in the axon terminal rely on calcium influx instead of sodium influx for their depolarization phase?
