Action potential	A coordinated change in the membrane potential (Voltage across membrane) that travels along the axon in a wave of electricity	Voltage
Depolarisation	First phase of action potential. The normal polarised state of the membrane is reversed.	Where the inside of the cell is more negative than the outside
Repolarisation	Return to initial polarised state of membrane.
