All or Nothing Principle (A-level Biology)

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.
