What sciences study society and man

Society is an incredibly interesting subject to study, as understanding the features of its functioning helps ordinary people significantly improve their lives and influence the world in a positive way. To begin to study society, it is necessary to understand what sciences study society. And in order to get an answer to this question, it is necessary to turn to such a complex of sciences as social science, which includes at least six main scientific disciplines.

Irritability is Irritability and excitability

Irritability is the ability of an organism or individual tissues to respond to the environment, it is also the ability of a muscle to contract in response to stretching. Excitability is a property of a cell that allows it to respond to irritation or stimulation, for example, the ability of nerve or muscle cells to respond to an electrical stimulus.
