Synaptic Transmission. In a chemical synapse, the pre and post synaptic membranes are separated by a synaptic cleft, a fluid filled space. The chemical event is involved in the transmission of the impulse via release, diffusion, receptor binding of neurotransmitter molecules and unidirectional communication between neurons. The neurotransmitter termination can occur in three ways - reuptake, enzymatic degradation in the cleft and diffusion.
Pride in Accomplishment: The Interstate H-3 Project. Hawaii, America's 50th state, is known around the world for gentle trade winds and tropical beauty. While Hawaii takes pride in these natural wonders, we are also proud of our human achievements. One truly spectacular accomplishment is the completion of the Interstate H-3 freeway on the island of Oahu. H-3, 37 years in the making, was officially opened on Dec.12, 1997.
This was installed during July 1900 and connected with Fort Egbert in 1902. Due to heavy snowslides in Keystone Canyon, a submarine cable was installed in 1903. This part of the original pack trail was in use from 1899 to just past the turn of the century, at which time the northern section was widened for wagons.
