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?
Saltatory Conduction. As in un-myelinated axons, the first action potential in myelinated axons takes place at the initial segment of an axon and is generated by a threshold stimulus from the dendrites and cell body. Subsequent action potentials occur at the nodes of Ranvier, where the Na+ voltage-gated channels are located. Therefore, when nerve impulses travel down a myelinated axon, they appear to jump from node to node - in a process called saltatory conduction. Each nodal action potential is triggered by a threshold stimulus created by passive current from the previous node.
