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: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:0051240
|
positive regulation of multicellular organismal process
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of an organismal process, any of the processes pertinent to the function of an organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. |
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: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:0045933
|
positive regulation of muscle contraction
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction. |
GO:0014821
|
phasic smooth muscle contraction
|
A process in which force is generated within phasic 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. In the phasic smooth muscle, the muscle contraction occurs without an ordered sarcomeric structure. Phasic smooth muscle contraction occurs in a series of discrete contractions and relaxations. |
GO:0014831
|
gastro-intestinal system smooth muscle contraction
|
A process in which force is generated within smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. This process occurs in the gastro-intestinal system. 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 gastro-intestinal system generally refers to the digestive structures stretching from the mouth to anus, but does not include the accessory glandular organs (liver, pancreas and biliary tract). |
GO:0014827
|
intestine smooth muscle contraction
|
A process in which force is generated within smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. This process occurs in the intestine. 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 intestine is the section of the alimentary canal from the stomach to the anal canal. It includes the large intestine and small intestine. |
GO:0045987
|
positive regulation of smooth muscle contraction
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of smooth muscle contraction. |
GO:1904304
|
regulation of gastro-intestinal system smooth muscle contraction
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of gastro-intestinal system smooth muscle contraction. |
GO:1904306
|
positive regulation of gastro-intestinal system smooth muscle contraction
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of gastro-intestinal system smooth muscle contraction. |
GO:1990770
|
small intestine smooth muscle contraction
|
A process in which force is generated within smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry in the intestine between the stomach and the large intestine. |
GO:1904347
|
regulation of small intestine smooth muscle contraction
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of small intestine smooth muscle contraction. |
GO:1904349
|
positive regulation of small intestine smooth muscle contraction
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of small intestine smooth muscle contraction. |
