Category:GO:0014832 ! urinary bladder smooth muscle contraction
name: urinary bladder smooth muscle contraction
namespace: biological_process
def: "A process in which force is generated within smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. This process occurs in the urinary bladder. 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 urinary bladder is a musculomembranous sac along the urinary tract." [GOC:mr, GOC:mtg_muscle, PMID:11768524, PMID:18276178, PMID:538956]
