AmiGO 2: Term Details for "hindgut contraction" (GO:0043133)

Accession: GO:0043133
Name: hindgut contraction
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A process in which force is generated within smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. This process occurs in the hindgut. 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 hindgut is the posterior part of the alimentary canal, including the rectum, and the large intestine. Source: GOC:mtg_muscle, GOC:jl, UBERON:0001046
