Term Information

Accession: GO:0002086
Name: diaphragm contraction
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None

Definition: A process in which force is generated within involuntary skeletal muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. This process occurs in the diaphragm. 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 diaphragm is a striated muscle that is necessary for the process of respiratory gaseous exchange. Source: GOC:dph, GOC:mtg_muscle, PMID:12458206
