Planteome: Term Details for "twitch skeletal muscle contraction" (GO:0014721)

Accession: GO:0014721
Name: twitch skeletal muscle contraction
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
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. Source: GOC:mtg_muscle
