Action potential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An action potential (or nerve impulse ) is a transient alteration of the transmembrane voltage (or membrane potential) across an excitable membrane in an excitable cell (such as a neuron or myocyt...

Depolarization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biology, depolarization is a change in a cell's membrane potential, making it more positive, or less negative. In neurons and some other cells, a large enough depolarization may result in an acti...

The sudden complete depolarization of the membrane opens up more of the voltage-gated sodium channels in adjacent portions of the membrane. In this way, a wave of depolarization sweeps along the cell. This is the action potential (In neurons, the action potential is also called the nerve impulse.)

Many cells in the body have the ability to undergo a transient depolarization and repolarization that is either triggered by external mechanisms (e.g., motor nerve stimulation of skeletal muscle or cell-to-cell depolarization in the heart) or by intracellular, spontaneous mechanisms (e.g., cardiac pacemaker cells).
