It delves into how these channels contribute to the sensation of heat, cold, and thermal pain, with TREK channels playing a key role in moderating thermoreceptor activity by hyperpolarizing cells and TRP channels depolarizing them to increase excitability.

These changes might be in the level of glucose or calcium in blood or in external temperatures. Homeostasis means to maintain dynamic equilibrium in the body. It is dynamic because it is constantly adjusting to the changes that the body’s systems encounter. It is equilibrium because body functions are kept within specific ranges.
