Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Summation is a phenomenon that determines if an action potential is going to be triggered due to the combined effects of inhibitory and excitatory signals. Summation is basically of two types; temporal summation and spatial summation.

A pin can be pressed against the skin without eliciting a response from the pain receptor. However, if the pin is jabbed into the finger, the pain receptor may be stimulated and the finger would quickly withdrawn through a reflex arc.
