All or Nothing Principle
All or Nothing Principle
The size of the impulse is independent of the size of the stimulus:
-
- If the intensity of a stimulus is below the threshold potential, no action potential will be initiated.
-
- If the intensity of a stimulus is above the threshold value, an action potential is initiated. Any further increase in intensity does not give a greater action potential.
