| Term | twitch skeletal muscle contraction | ID (Ontology) | GO:0014721 (Gene Ontology) |
| Definition | A process in which force is generated within twitch skeletal muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. Force generation involves a chemo-mechanical energy conversion step that is carried out by the actin/myosin complex activity, which generates force through ATP hydrolysis. The twitch skeletal muscle responds to neurostimulations with a contraction followed by a relaxation. | ||
