Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which part of the brain is responsible for controlling heart rate and breathing rate?

  1. A) Cerebellum
  2. B) Medulla oblongata
  3. C) Cerebral cortex
  4. D) Hypothalamus
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — B) Medulla oblongata
The medulla oblongata controls autonomic functions such as heart rate and breathing rate. The cerebellum coordinates movement and balance, while the cerebral cortex is involved in conscious thought and voluntary actions.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student touches a hot surface and quickly withdraws their hand before feeling pain. Which pathway correctly describes the sequence of this reflex arc?

  1. A) Receptor → motor neurone → relay neurone → sensory neurone → effector
  2. B) Effector → sensory neurone → relay neurone → motor neurone → receptor
  3. C) Receptor → sensory neurone → relay neurone → motor neurone → effector
  4. D) Receptor → relay neurone → sensory neurone → motor neurone → effector
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — C) Receptor → sensory neurone → relay neurone → motor neurone → effector
In a reflex arc, the correct sequence is: receptor detects stimulus → sensory neurone carries impulse to the spinal cord → relay neurone in the spinal cord connects them → motor neurone carries impulse to the effector (muscle), which responds. Pain is perceived afterwards by the brain.

CIE IGCSE Biology: Coordination and response in humans FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Biology questions on Coordination and response in humans are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Coordination and response in humans for CIE IGCSE Biology, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Biology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Coordination and response in humans practice with other Biology topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Coordination and response in humans questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Biology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Coordination and response in humans typically tested on CIE IGCSE Biology papers?
Coordination and response in humans appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Biology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
