Hey JedKampe, There are numerous drugs and conditions that can cause a false positive for cocaine not to mention human error. Substances that can cause a false positive drug test result: Amoxicillin is an antibiotic in the penicillin group of drugs. It fights bacteria in your body. Ampicillin is another antibiotic similar to amoxicillin.
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?
An action potential is a pulse-like wave of voltage that can travel on certain types of cell membranes. It occurs most commonly on the membrane of the axon of a neuron, but also appears in other types of excitable cells, such as cardiac muscle cells and even plant cells.igure 1. A. view of an idealized action potential shows its various phases as the action potential passes a point on a cell membrane. B. Recordings of action potentials are often distorted compared to the schematic view because of variations in electrophysiological techniques used to make the recording.
