ZFIN GO: Biological Process: twitch skeletal muscle contraction

OBO ID: GO:0014721

Term Name:	twitch skeletal muscle contraction		Search Ontology:
Synonyms:
Definition:	A process in which force is generated within 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 twitch skeletal muscle responds to neurostimulations with a contraction followed by a relaxation.
