Excitability
The ability to respond to a stimulus is called irritability or responsiveness. It refers to an organism's ability to detect and react to changes in its environment.

neuromuscular efficiency neuromuscular efficiency
Excitability = the ability to receive and respond to a stimulus Contractility = the ability to shorten Extensibility = the ability to be stretched Elasticity = the ability to resume normal length after contraction or having been stretched.

Generalization is the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is similar but not identical to a conditioned stimulus.
Muscle excitability is the ability to respond to a stimulus, such as a nerve signal or hormone, by generating an electrical impulse that leads to muscle contraction. This trait allows muscles to react to signals from the nervous or endocrine systems to produce movement.
The nervous system is responsible for your body's ability to respond to stimuli. It processes information from the environment and initiates appropriate responses.
A stimulus causes your body to react, a response is something that is caused by a stimulus. Work it out, does the virus respond to you more or you to the virus?
Anything in an organism's external environment that causes the organism to react is a stimulus. a reaciton to a stimulus is a response. The ability to respond to stimuli in the environment is an important characteristic of living things
it mean a respond by the organism after receiving the stimulus.
Consider the Venus fly trap and the environmental stimulus of an insect landing on the trap's leaves and know that plants can respond quite well to environmental stimulus, though not always as blatantly as a Venus fly trap.
