Heart, because it pumps blood that contains Oxygen and nutrients to the body.
Smooth muscle (also known as involuntary muscle) moves food through the digestive system.
Yes. You have many invoulentary muscles lining the organs in your digestive system - for example the intestine - which move the food through.
That muscle is known as the heart.
peristalsis
Yes, the muscles squeeze the food through the digestive system :)

I believe that the food moves through the system by only gravity and not any muscles. This is do to the fact that our intestines are angled downward. Wow...gravity has nothing to do with this at all.
Yes, by peristaltic movement.

The Esophagus, tongue, stomach, small and large intestines, and the rectum are the major muscles in the digestive system
The food is passed through the digestive tract when the worm moves. The movement causes the muscles to contract and move the food through the system.
Muscles contract to help move food through the digestive system
Cells and muscles.
The digestive system uses muscles to digest food. For example, stomach muscles help to break down food.
The muscular system is the mechanical force behind the digestive system. Beginning when you take a bite, your muscular system aids your digestive system. Chewing and swallowing are done by the muscular system; muscles surrounding your stomach churn up food to aid digestion; muscles transport digested food through your intestines and eventually out of your body. (The muscles for chewing and swallowing are voluntary muscles; the rest are involuntary.)
