The nervous system is what will initiate contractions as well as determine the strength of a contraction.
If a neuron, or other excitable tissue, is stimulated by a stimulus of threshold strength or greater strength..
It depends on the strength of the stimulus. A threshold voltage has to be reached before the nerve can be stimulated.
the all-or-none principle

Relax
A neuron conveys information about the strength of stimuli by varying the rate in which the stimulus is fired.

<P> <P>The stimulus frequency is how often the stimulus is admitted. For example, every 30 seconds, every minute and 1/2, etc. <P>Stimulus strength describes the level of force used to administer the stimulus such as mild, moderate or maximum.</P>
all-or-none law is the principle that the strength by which a nerve or muscle fiber responds to a stimulus is not dependent on the strength of the stimulus. If the stimulus is any strength above threshold, the nerve or muscle fiber will give a complete response or otherwise no response at all
The strength of a natural magnet can be increased.
Basic muscle summation -an increase in the frequency with which a muscle is stimulated increases the strength of contraction. With increased stimuli to the heart if summation occurred the contractions would keep increasing.
