    here is a summary that i found for those who didnt understand how ca+ rises the treashold :
    Threshold potential: largely determined by the voltage gated Na channel. In short, when membrane potential reaches the threshould, many voltage gated Na+ channels open and lead to Na+ influx and subsequent action potentials. Ca2+ ion alters the property of these voltage gated Na+ channels and make their "gating voltage" higher, aka less negative. By doing so, these Na+ channels open only at a higher voltage. Thus the threshold is raised and the difference between the resting potential and the threshold is increased. In other words, cell become less excitable.
