Explain how the "all or none" response does not contradict the fact that a neural response or muscle contraction can be gauged and varied.

16 comments:

  1. The "all or none" response is the threshold response of each particular nerve cell and muscle fiber to a stimulus. A nerve cell will fire completely or not at all, and a muscle fiber will contract to its limit with a stimulus; both rest fully in the absence of stimulus. Muscle fiber generates tension through the action of actin and myosin cross-bridge cycling. While under tension, the muscle may lengthen, shorten, or remain the same. The variation of the muscle contraction may depend on the tension and pressure.

  2. The all-or-none response is a principle that states that the strength of a response of a nerve cell or muscle fiber is not dependent upon the strength of the stimulus. If a stimulus is above a certain threshold, a nerve or muscle fiber will fire. Basically, there will either be a full response or there will be no response at all.Muscle fiber generates tension through the action of actin and myosin cross-bridge cycling. While under tension, the muscle may lengthen, shorten, or remain the same. Although the term contraction implies shortening, when referring to the muscular system, it means muscle fibers generating tension with the help of motor neurons.The all or none principle behind muscle contraction is simple...the strength by which a nerve or muscle fiber responds to a stimulus is not dependent upon the strength of the stimulus. So, any stimulation above complete response, or none at all. Scientists found this out in 1871 while studying cardiac muscle function.

  3. The 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 either give a complete response or no response at all. Muscle fiber generates tension through the action of myosin and actin cross-bridge cycling. While this occurs, the muscle may lengthen, shorten, or stay the same length. Although the term contraction means shortening, in this case it means muscle fibers generating tension with the help of motor neurons. The variation of muscle contraction depends on the tension and pressure. The all-or-none law was first established by the American physiologist Henry Pickering Bowditch in the 1871.

  4. The All or None law was created in which the strength created by a nerve of a muscle fiber is not dependent on the strength of the stimulus. When the stimulus has any strength on top the threshold, the nerve or the fibers of the muscle will give either a completely strengthened responded stimulus or none responsive one. A muscle fiber generates tension through the act of actin and myosin cross bridge cycling, when this occurs, the muscle has a choice to either get longer, shorter, or even stay the same length. In muscle contraction the muscle fibers create tension with facilitators, the motor neurons. Muscle contraction can only occur when there is tension and pressure. This law was created and determined in 1871 while the study of cardiac muscle function, it can also be considered an accidental discovery.

  6. An "all or none" response is a the threshold response of a nerve cell and muscle fiber to a stimulus. A muscle fiber with a stimulus will contract to its limit, and the nerve cell will fire either completely or not at all. During this time both rest full in the absence of stimulus. During an all or none response muscle fiber responds to a stimulus which is not dependent under the strength of the stimulus. Therefore, any stimulus that is above the threshold will make the muscle fiber either give a complete response or no response at all. The muscles may lengthen,shorten, or even stay the same. It is all depended on the pressure and the tension in order to cause a muscle contraction.

  7. The "all or none" response is responsible for each particular nerve cell and muscle fiber to a stimulus. If a stimulus is above a certain threshold, a nerve or muscle fiber will fire; either there will be a response or there won't. Muscle fiber generates tension through the actin and myosin cross-bridge cycling. The muscle may lengthen, shorten, or stay the same length. It all depends on the pressure and the tension in order to cause a muscle contraction.

  8. The all or none response is the outcome of the nerve cells and muscle fibers to the stimulus. If a stimulus reaches the threshold the nerve or muscle fiber will release and become active. Muscle fiber brings fusion between actin and myosin cross bridging cycling. The muscle may change in size due to the pressure and tention thats causing the contracrion.

  9. The all or none response is the outcome of the nerve cells and muscle fibers to the stimulus. If a stimulus reaches the threshold the nerve and muslce fibers will become active. In the muscle fibers the acting and myosin cross. The muscle will contract from the pressure

  13. If a stimulus is not strong enough to pass the 50 milivolt threshold, an impulse doesn't start; therefore, an all or none response is created
