Planteome: Term Details for "tonic smooth muscle contraction" (GO:0014820)

Accession: GO:0014820
Name: tonic smooth muscle contraction
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A process in which force is generated within tonic 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 tonic smooth muscle, the muscle contraction occurs without an ordered sarcomeric structure. Tonic smooth muscle contraction occurs as a sustained continuous contraction. Source: GOC:mtg_muscle
