Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which part of the nervous system is responsible for coordinating voluntary actions such as writing?

  1. cerebellum
  2. cerebrum
  3. medulla oblongata
  4. spinal cord
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: Bcerebrum
Award 1 mark for identifying the cerebrum as the part responsible for voluntary actions and conscious thought. A is incorrect — the cerebellum coordinates balance and fine muscle control but not initiation of voluntary actions. C is incorrect — the medulla oblongata controls involuntary actions such as breathing and heart rate. D is incorrect — the spinal cord carries impulses and coordinates reflex actions, not voluntary movement.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which structure in the brain is responsible for controlling balance and coordinating precise muscular movements?

  1. cerebrum
  2. cerebellum
  3. hypothalamus
  4. medulla oblongata
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: Bcerebellum
Award 1 mark for identifying the cerebellum, which coordinates balance, posture, and fine motor control. A is incorrect — the cerebrum controls voluntary actions, memory, and intelligence. C is incorrect — the hypothalamus regulates body temperature and monitors blood composition. D is incorrect — the medulla oblongata controls involuntary actions like breathing and heart rate.

CIE IGCSE Biology: Coordination and response: the nervous system FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Biology questions on Coordination and response: the nervous system are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Coordination and response: the nervous system 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: the nervous system 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: the nervous system 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: the nervous system typically tested on CIE IGCSE Biology papers?
Coordination and response: the nervous system 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.
