Thus, in the reaction, the reductant or reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized, and the oxidant or oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced. The pair of an oxidizing and reducing agent that are involved in a particular reaction is called a redox pair.he reduction potential is a measure of the tendency of the oxidizing agent to be reduced. Its value is zero for H + + e â â Â½ H 2 by definition, positive for oxidizing agents stronger than H + (e.g., +2.866 V for F 2) and negative for oxidizing agents that are weaker than H + (e.g., â0.763 V for Zn 2+).
When the nerve is damaged,the action potential remains between the electrodes and doesn't reach the second electrode (i.e potential difference remains positive and doesn't go into negative phase) , the biphasic action potential changes into monophasic action potential i.e with single phase. Source(s):E: biphasic action potential change into the monophasic action? Why does the biphasic action potential change into the monophasic action potential after nerve injury between the two recording electrodes?
