Name: trunk musculature
Synonyms: body musculature
Definition: Muscle system in the trunk.
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000473]
Name: twitch skeletal muscle contraction
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.
