Note: This page represents a term created by the combination ("post-composition") of two ontology terms. For more information on the individual terms, click the hyperlinked name.
Name: trunk musculature
Synonyms: body musculature
Definition: Muscle system in the trunk.
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000473]
Name: transition between slow and fast fiber
Synonyms: transition between slow and fast fibre, transition slow-fast fiber, transition slow-fast fibre
Definition: The process of conversion of slow-contracting muscle fibers to a faster character. This may involve increasing of contractile rate, fast myosin gene induction, increase in glycolytic metabolic properties, altered electrophysiology and altered innervation. This process also regulates skeletal muscle adapatation.
