The muscle responsible for moving food through the digestive system is the smooth muscle found in the walls of the gastrointestinal tract. The heart is primarily made up of cardiac muscle which is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.
The fiber that is not digested as it travels through the digestive system is known as insoluble fiber. This type of fiber adds bulk to stool and helps promote regular bowel movements by aiding in the passage of food through the intestines. It is found in foods such as whole grains, nuts, seeds, and the skins of fruits and vegetables. Unlike soluble fiber, which dissolves in water and can be fermented by gut bacteria, insoluble fiber remains intact throughout the digestive process.
Fiber
The type of muscle that lines the digestive tract is called smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is involuntary, meaning it operates without conscious control, and is responsible for the rhythmic contractions known as peristalsis, which moves food through the digestive system. This muscle type is also found in other hollow organs, such as blood vessels and the bladder.
Fiber is a substance found in plant foods that is not absorbed by the body. It passes through the digestive system intact and helps with digestion and promoting bowel regularity.
