In the field of biology, the all-or-nothing law can be described as a principle which focuses on the strength with which a nerve or muscle fibre responds to a particular stimulus, this strength being independent of the strength of the stimulus. The functioning of the impulse is just like the trigger of a gun. The more the force of a stimulus, the more will be the intensity of the nerve impulse.
