name: artery 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 artery. 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 artery is a vessel carrying blood away from the heart." [GOC:mtg_muscle, MA:0000708, MSH:D001158]
