biological_process
|
A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence. |

GO:0065007
|
biological regulation
|
Any process that modulates a measurable attribute of any biological process, quality or 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: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:0003013
|
circulatory system process
|
An 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, due to relaxation of smooth muscle cells that line the vessels, and usually resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. |
|
GO:0097746
|
blood vessel diameter maintenance
|
Any process that modulates the diameter of blood vessels. |
|
GO:0035296
|
regulation of tube diameter
|
Any process that modulates the diameter of a tube. |
|
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:0090066
|
regulation of anatomical structure size
|
Any process that modulates the size of an anatomical structure. |
|
GO:0003122
|
norepinephrine-mediated vasodilation
|
A vasodilation process resulting from secretion of norepinephrine into the bloodstream or released by nerve endings. |
