What is the term used to describe the rounded areas on the ends of the axon terminals?
The term used to describe the rounded areas on the ends of the axon terminals is "synaptic end bulbs" or "synaptic boutons". These structures contain neurotransmitters that are released into the synapse to communicate with the next neuron.
Which neurons are responsible for acting as a facilitator of communication between neurons?
Neurotransmitters are the chemical medium through which the signals move from one neuron to the next at the synapses. This is called neurotransmission and the way it is done is through electrochemical processes. A chemical message from other neurons, through dendrites causes a nerve impulse. This travels down the Axon to the terminal buttons at the end. This then releases the neurotransmitters which send a message to the next neuron. The neuron that sends the message is the pre-synaptic neuron, and the one that receives it is the postsynaptic neuron. Each neurotransmitter has a specific effect on a specific circuit. They do not all work with every receptor. This is a complicated subject to try to explain in a short statement! I have probably confused you by now.
What are electrical junctions in the human body?
Electrical junctions in the human body are where the axons of nerves (singly called neurons) send a chemical to the dendrite(s) of nearby neuron(s), said chemical creating a weak electrical current in the next neuron. These neuron to neuron junctions are called, "Synapses".
Works by increasing activity in certain areas of the brain to increase concentration and wakefulness?
Orexin increases activity in certain areas of the brain to increase concentration and wakefulness. Orexin reacts with norepinephrine neuron receptors.

What process describe how signal travels from one end of a neuron to the other end?
The process is called synaptic transmission. It involves the transmission of an electrical signal (action potential) along the neuron's axon to the synaptic terminal, followed by the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, generating a new electrical signal that continues the communication.
Does information enter a neuron through the axon?
Neurons pass information by neurotransmitters, chemicals that activate receiving neurons. These molecules (neurotransmitters) pass through what is called the synapse: a junction of an axon of the first neuron close to the dendrite of a second neuron. When the neurotransmitters act on the receiving neuron, they can activate a series of changes that cause than neuron to signal to another neuron, resulting in a chain reaction.

What areas do the neurotransmitters diffuse through?
Primarily the Brain: from the Axons to the Dendrites.

What physical abnormalities in the brain are sometimes present in schizophrenics?
These include atrophy or degeneration in some brain areas and enlargement of fluid-filled cavities called ventricles. Schizophrenics also have abnormalities in chemical neurotransmitters the brain normally uses to communicate information
What glands produce sebum?
Sebaceous Glands in the dermal layer of your skin make sebum. These glands are located at the base of hair follicles and helps keep the skin from drying out.Thus, these glands are located in hair-bearing areas such as the face, axillae, and groin.The gland that secretes sebum is called the "sebaceous gland" and it can be found in the skin of mammals and secretes that oily substance called sebum into the mammal's hair follicles and sometimes into the skin for lubrication.sebaceous glands.

the light areas of the moon are called the highlands. the dark areas are called maria.
