A diagram that shows the different types of heat and cold channels in the human body. The diagram is divided into two sections with the top section showing the heat channel on the left and the bottom section on the right. The heat channel is labeled "TRPV1" and is labeled as "Non-TRPVP1 heat-sensitive channel". The temperature channel is represented by a red dot on the top left corner of the diagram. In the top right section there is a label that reads "COLD" and lists the different channels in each channel. The channels are labeled "navy.8" "track" "TRPM8" and "TREK-1". Below the labels there are two smaller channels labeled "polygonal" and "Nonpeptidergic". These channels are represented by different colors - red blue green yellow and purple. The red channel represents the heat the blue channel represents heat and the green channel represents cold. The yellow channel represents temperature while the purple and green channels represent temperature. The diagram also shows that the heat and temperature channels are connected to each other by a mechanism-transduction channel which is a type of transduction channel used to transfer heat from one channel to another.
