| GO:0050789 | regulation of biological process | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. |
| GO:0048519 | negative regulation of biological process | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. |
| GO:0044707 | single-multicellular organism process | A biological process occurring within a single, multicellular organism. |
| GO:0032501 | multicellular organismal process | Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. |
| GO:0065008 | regulation of biological quality | Any process that modulates a qualitative or quantitative trait of a biological quality. A biological quality is a measurable attribute of an organism or part of an organism, such as size, mass, shape, color, etc. |
| GO:0090066 | regulation of anatomical structure size | Any process that modulates the size of an anatomical structure. |
| GO:0003008 | system process | A multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in an organ system. An organ system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of organs or tissues that work together to carry out a biological objective. |
| GO:0051239 | regulation of multicellular organismal process | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a multicellular organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of a multicellular organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. |
| GO:0051241 | negative regulation of multicellular organismal process | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of an organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of an organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. |
| GO:0003013 | circulatory system process | A organ system process carried out by any of the organs or tissues of the circulatory system. The circulatory system is an organ system that moves extracellular fluids to and from tissue within a multicellular organism. |
| GO:0008015 | blood circulation | The flow of blood through the body of an animal, enabling the transport of nutrients to the tissues and the removal of waste products. |
| GO:0003018 | vascular process in circulatory system | A circulatory process that occurs at the level of the vasculature. |
| GO:0042311 | vasodilation | An increase in the internal diameter of blood vessels, especially arterioles or capillaries, usually resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. |
| GO:0050880 | regulation of blood vessel size | Any process that modulates the size of blood vessels. |
| GO:0035150 | regulation of tube size | Ensuring that a tube is of the correct length and diameter. Tube size must be maintained not only during tube formation, but also throughout development and in some physiological processes. |
| GO:0044057 | regulation of system process | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a system process, a multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in an organ system. |
| GO:0006936 | muscle contraction | 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. |
| GO:0003012 | muscle system process | A organ system process carried out at the level of a muscle. Muscle tissue is composed of contractile cells or fibers. |
| GO:0090257 | regulation of muscle system process | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a muscle system process, a multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in a muscle system. |
| GO:0006937 | regulation of muscle contraction | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction. |
| GO:0006939 | smooth muscle contraction | A process in which force is generated within smooth 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. Smooth muscle differs from striated muscle in the much higher actin/myosin ratio, the absence of conspicuous sarcomeres and the ability to contract to a much smaller fraction of its resting length. |
| GO:0045932 | negative regulation of muscle contraction | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction. |
| GO:0090075 | relaxation of muscle | A process in which the extent of muscle contraction is reduced. Muscle relaxation can involve a number of processes including the removal of calcium from the cytoplasm to the sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen through the action of Ca2+ ATPases. In some muscles, calcium-independent pathways also play a role in muscle relaxation by decreasing the phosphorylation state of myosin light chain. |
| GO:0044557 | relaxation of smooth muscle | A process in which the extent of smooth muscle contraction is reduced. Smooth muscle differs from striated muscle in the much higher actin/myosin ratio, the absence of conspicuous sarcomeres and the ability to contract to a much smaller fraction of its resting length. |
| GO:0045986 | negative regulation of smooth muscle contraction | Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of smooth muscle contraction. |
| GO:0060087 | relaxation of vascular smooth muscle | A process in which the extent of vascular smooth muscle contraction is reduced. Vascular smooth muscle relaxation is mediated via a decrease in the phosphorylation state of myosin light chain. This can be achieved by removal of calcium from the cytoplasm to the sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen through the action of Ca2+ ATPases leading to a decrease myosin light chain kinase activity, and through calcium-independent pathways leading to a increase in myosin light chain phosphatase activity. |
