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:0050789
|
regulation of biological process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. |
|
GO:0048519
|
negative regulation of biological process
|
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. |
|
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:0051239
|
regulation of multicellular organismal process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a multicellular organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of a multicellular organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. |
|
GO:0051241
|
negative regulation of multicellular organismal process
|
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of an organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of an organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. |
|
GO:0044057
|
regulation of system process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a system process, a multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in an organ system. |
|
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:0006940
|
regulation of smooth muscle contraction
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of smooth muscle contraction. |
|
GO:0090257
|
regulation of muscle system process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a muscle system process, a multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in a muscle system. |
|
GO:0006937
|
regulation of muscle contraction
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction. |
|
GO:0006939
|
smooth muscle contraction
|
A process in which force is generated within 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. Smooth muscle differs from striated muscle in the much higher actin/myosin ratio, the absence of conspicuous sarcomeres and the ability to contract to a much smaller fraction of its resting length. |
|
GO:0045932
|
negative regulation of muscle contraction
|
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction. |
|
GO:0045986
|
negative regulation of smooth muscle contraction
|
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of smooth muscle contraction. |
|
GO:0070471
|
uterine smooth muscle contraction
|
A process in which force is generated within smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. This process occurs in the uterus. 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 uterus is a muscular organ of the female mammal for containing and usually for nourishing the young during development prior to birth. |
|
GO:0070472
|
regulation of uterine smooth muscle contraction
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of uterine smooth muscle contraction. |
|
GO:0070473
|
negative regulation of uterine smooth muscle contraction
|
Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of uterine smooth muscle contraction. |
