Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contractility refers to the ability of cardiac cells to contract in response to a stimulus, such as depolarization. Therefore, the best choice is D, which specifically mentions contractility. A is incorrect because initiating an impulse is related to automaticity. B is incorrect because passing an impulse along to neighboring cells is related to conductivity. C is incorrect because responding to a stimulus by depolarizing is related to excitability.
