After a carbohydrate-rich meal, blood glucose concentration rises. Outline the roles of the nervous system and the endocrine system in coordinating the body's response to this rise, with reference to specific hormones such as insulin. Compare the two systems by constructing a table that includes at least three differences and two similarities.
7 marks, so the mark scheme is looking for about 7 separate creditworthy points. Making the same point twice in different words earns it once.
Compare means: Give similarities or differences between two things, and say which side each point belongs to. Write each point as a pair, for example: A is X, whereas B is Y. Two separate descriptions rarely earn the marks.
