Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The all-or-nothing principle states that once the electrical impulse reaches a certain level of intensity, it fires and moves all the way down the axon without losing any intensity. It either fires at full strength or does not fire at all, meaning that weaker stimuli do not produce weaker impulses.
