General Information
Term muscle contraction ID (Ontology) GO:0006936 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A process in which force is generated within 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.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
