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: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:0003015
|
heart process
|
A circulatory system process carried out by the heart. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood. |
|
GO:0060047
|
heart contraction
|
The multicellular organismal process in which the heart decreases in volume in a characteristic way to propel blood through the body. |
|
GO:0006941
|
striated muscle contraction
|
A process in which force is generated within striated muscle tissue, resulting in the shortening of the muscle. 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. Striated muscle is a type of muscle in which the repeating units (sarcomeres) of the contractile myofibrils are arranged in registry throughout the cell, resulting in transverse or oblique striations observable at the level of the light microscope. |
|
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
|
An organ system process carried out at the level of a muscle. Muscle tissue is composed of contractile cells or fibers. |
|
GO:0060048
|
cardiac muscle contraction
|
Muscle contraction of cardiac muscle tissue. |
