Category:GO:0003011 ! involuntary skeletal muscle contraction

name: involuntary skeletal muscle contraction
namespace: biological_process
def: "A process in which force is generated within involuntary 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. Involuntary skeletal muscle is skeletal muscle that is not under conscious control." [GOC:mtg_cardio, GOC:mtg_muscle]
