Describe the All-Or-None Principle

Multiple Choice

Describe the all-or-none principle.

A) All stimuli will generate an action potential or none will.
B) All stimuli that bring the membrane to threshold will generate identical action potentials.
C) Stimuli that bring the membrane to threshold will generate a larger or smaller action potential depending on the size of the stimuli.
D) Stimuli that bring the membrane to threshold will generate a longer or shorter action potential depending on the timing of the stimuli.
E) Stimuli that do not bring the membrane to threshold can still generate an action potential if the stimuli are strong enough.
