Compilation of results obtained by the logical network model altering one, two or the three NFA-sensitive channels in sea urchin spermatozoa. The non-bolded arrows correspond to scenario 1, in which the CaKC channel is inhibited. The bolded arrows indicate the alterations corresponding to scenario 2, with activation of CaKC channels.
