The muscles in the intestines are not named, specifically. There are circumferential muscle layers and longitudinal muscle layers in the intestines. These muscle layers create the peristalsis that moves food and digestive products through the intestinal tract.
If you are asking the names of the muscles of the abdominal wall, they are the rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, and the transverse abdominal muscles.
