Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. A process whereby force is generated within 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. In the skeletal muscle, the muscle contraction takes advantage of an ordered sarcomeric structure and in most cases it is under voluntary control. The movement of an organism or part of an organism using mechanoreceptors, the nervous system, striated muscle and/or the skeletal system. The movement of an organism or part of an organism using mechanoreceptors, the nervous system, striated muscle and/or the skeletal system that can be controlled at will. Involuntary movement caused by the application of a stimulus to an organism and a subsequent movement. The signal processing of this movement takes place in the spinal cord. Any physiological process involved in changing the position of a multicellular organism or an anatomical part of a multicellular organism.
