APGAR Grimace measures what?

Explanation:
Grimace measures reflex irritability—the newborn’s response to stimulation. When you stimulate the baby (for example, with suction or a gentle pinch), you observe the facial grimace or other reflexive reaction. A weak or no response scores low, a light grimace scores a bit higher, and a strong response like coughing, sneezing, or vigorous crying scores the highest. The other APGAR components assess appearance (skin color), pulse (heart rate), and respirations (breathing effort).
