General Information
Term uterine smooth muscle contraction ID (Ontology) GO:0070471 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A process in which force is generated within smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. This process occurs in the uterus. 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 uterus is a muscular organ of the female mammal for containing and usually for nourishing the young during development prior to birth.
Also Known As "myometrial contraction" ; "myometrial smooth muscle contraction" ; "myometrium contraction"
