When an action potential abides by the all-or-nothing principle, it reaches

its threshold and moves all the way down the axon without losing any of its

intensity.

<h3>What is Action potential?</h3>

This is defined as the change in electrical potential as a result of the

passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle cell or nerve cell.

The all-or-nothing principle indicates that there will be a full or no

response at all. This means that the axon won't lose any of its intensity

because the strength of the response of a nerve cell or muscle fiber is not

dependent upon the strength of the stimulus
