Term:slow-twitch skeletal muscle fiber contraction
go back to main search page
Accession:GO:0031444 term browser browse the term
Definition:A process in which force is generated within slow-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 slow-twitch skeletal muscle is characterized by slow time parameters, low force development and resistance to fatigue.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibre contraction
