Kasai, H. Comparative biology of Ca 2+-dependent exocytosis: implications of kinetic diversity for secretion function. Trends Neurosci. 22, 88–93 (1999).

The left electron microscope image shows "exocytosis." Parts of two nerve cells from a mouse brain are shown, top and bottom, with the gap or synapse between them appearing as horizontal lines.
