For full credit your description will include the correct order of events/structures and indicate cause and effect relationships. DESCRITPTION: One page or less, 10-12 size font, space and a half (or double spaced). Use full sentence, paragraph form. No introduction is needed; no background or extra information is needed. Just stick to the question asked and describe the reflex arc as directly and succinctly as possible
