Peak temperatures in December in Hawaii can reach levels of up to 26Â°C on average. However, in 1988, Hawaii recorded its highest ever temperature in December, where the thermometer reached an incredible 31Â°C. There is no chance of a white Christmas on the beaches in Hawaii, unless you include the whiteness of the sand.
2) Synaptic Cleft: This is the narrow gap between the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron, and the post-synaptic membrane of another excitable cell. It is filled with extracellular fluid. 3) Postsynaptic membrane: The membrane across the synaptic cleft is called the postsynaptic membrane.) A nerve impulse reaches the axon terminal of a presynaptic neuron; the membrane is depolarised by an action potential. 2) Depolarisation of the axon terminal during the action potential causes voltage sensitive calcium ion channels to open in the terminal knob.
1 Each terminal button joins to either another neuron, a gland cell, or a muscle cell. 2  The connection to another neuron, which takes place at a dendrite or on the soma, is termed a synapse. 3  When the terminal button connects to a muscle cell, the connection is termed a neuromuscular junction.
