Inside the cell membrane at rest, a negative potential is being generated. With stimulation, this negative potential decreases. This is called depolarization. When the membrane potential decreases to a certain level, an active potential, called the action potential is generated. The voltage at which this transaction occurs, is called the threshold, threshold voltage, or firing level.

The characteristics of the action potential are rapid depolarization and overshoot. Overshoot means switching of the electric polarity inside and outside the cell membrane, making it positive inside.

After overshoot, the negative polarity increases rapidly, and the action potential ends, returning to the resting membrane potential. This process is called the re-polarization.
