Can anyone explain to me the "all or nothing law" of action potentials? I'm in a college physiology class, and I do not understand this concept.

The all or nothing law of action potentials mainly talks about how the axons in the neurons only fire when there is enough action potential to fire. If there is not enough action potential, then the neuron will not be able to send signals because the action potential does not fire because of the deficit.
