A and B represent the calcium-triggered response in two systems showing egglike and neuronlike kinetic behaviors with parameters n = 5, τ_α = 10 s, and τ_P = 7 s, and n = 0.2, τ_α = 10 ms, and τ_P = 7 ms, respectively. The rates were calculated using a total releasable pool of 1,000 vesicles. Note, the kinetics of the neuronlike system is ∼100× faster than that of the egglike system.
