Local Potentials: Ligand regulated, may be depolarizing or hyperpolarizing, reversible, local, decremental Action Potentials: Voltage regulated, begins with depolarization, irreversible, self-propagating, nondecremental.
By self regenerating, they mean that when you start an action potential, it continues in proximal (nearby) tissue (e.g., nerve). The depolarization of the action potential continues along the nerve.
It can be called a NEURAL IMPULSE, or a NEURAL SIGNAL.It might also be called the FIRING of the neuron.It's usually just referred to as the ACTION POTENTIAL, even though the AP is really just an event at a measured point along the axon, since that local event is self propagating along the axon.And if it were a MYELINATED axon, the propagation would be called SALTATORY CONDUCTION.
Sodium ions flow into the neuron via voltage-gated sodium ion channels, driving the membrane potential into the positive. Beyond the threshold, more sodium ion channels are opened, causing the influx of sodium further downstream, and the process repeats, propagating the action potential down the axon.
depolarizing currents established by the influx of Na+ flow down the axon and trigger an action potential at the next segment

propagate is used as an action verb. example; He is propagating his ideas in the community.

An established church is a self governing/autonomous and self propagating church.
depolarizing currents established by the influx of Na+ flow down the axon and trigger an action potential at the next segment
The Na+ diffusing into the axon during the first phase of the action potential creates a depolarizing current that brings the next segment, or node, of the axon to threshold.
