Is conducting stimulus strong enough to generate a nerve impulse?

Yes, a stimulus needs to reach a certain threshold level of strength in order to generate a nerve impulse. This threshold is required to depolarize the cell membrane and initiate the action potential. If the stimulus is not strong enough to reach this threshold, no nerve impulse will be generated.

What is the relationship between a stimulus and a nerve impulse?

The neuron is the functional portion of the central nervous system, carrying impulses to the designated location. Neurons also have the role of interpreting an impulse, and waiting for a response. Neurons fall under the category of sensory neurons, interneurons and motor neurons.


What is the all none law of muscle response?

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
