Abstract
This paper refers strongly to mathematical modeling of diffusive process in a presynaptic bouton. Creation of a robust three-dimensional model of the bouton geometry is the topic of the paper. Such a model is necessary for partial differential equations that describe the aforementioned flows. The proposed geometric model is based on ultrathin sections obtained by using electron microscopy. The data structure which describes the surface of the whole bouton as well as the surfaces of some internal organelles is created as the result of the modeling procedure.
