The simplest sense, the all-or-none principle of neuronal firing means that a neuron will either fire or it won't, there is no "half" firing. When a neuron receives excitatory input.

What is all or none response?
The generation of an action potential (AP) is generally considered a 'all or none' response as opposed to a graded response. This has to do mainly with single motor units. Once an AP is triggered in the neuron body (soma) the AP travels along the axon to the neuro-muscular junction where it releases acetylcholine (Ach). The muscle then either fires (if enough axons discharge) or not, but there is no halfway response.
What refers to the fact that a neuron either fires completely or does not fire at all?
All or none
What does the all or none response mean dealing with muscles?
The All or None Muscle Theory is a theory that states that if said muscle is contracted, all of said muscle is contracted. In Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning written by CSCS, they state,"There is no such thing as a motor neuron stimulus that causes only some of the fibers to contract."
When a neuron receives a stimulus that is very strong?
all or none fashion
What is the 'all or none?
the all or none response is when your brain has a stroke and theres this move you do that supposed to help you but if you dont do it right its a none response but if you did its an all. An all is you live while a none is you die. Taylor

What does the all or none Bowditch's law mean in terms of massage?
It means that when a neuron sends its signal, or a muscle fiber contracts, that they do so to the maximum capacity to which they were designed.
Other than sweating are there other sympathetic cholinergic neuron functions?
None of all discovered to date
What is the type of response of any muscle fiber?
all or none
What does all or non response mean to human anatomy?
All-or-none response means that things have to reach a certain threshold, a certain level before they happen. If it reaches that threshold, it becomes a cascading response that increases in size. If it fails to reach the threshold, well, nothing happens.
How is the all-or-none response related to the strength of a muscle contraction?
The all-or-none response related to the strength of a muscle contraction is related to the idea that the muscle either contracts or it does not (it relaxes). There is no middle ground.
