What type of tissue works to move food along the digestive tract?
Peristalsisis a radially symmetrical contraction and relaxation of muscles which propagates in a wave down the muscular tube, in an anterograde fashion. In humans, peristalsis is found in the contraction of smooth muscles to propel contents through the digestive tract. Earthworms use a similar mechanism to drive their locomotion.[1] The word is derived from New Latin and comes from the Greek peristallein, "to wrap around," from peri-, "around" +stallein, "to place".

What type of muscle is used for heart beating and food digestion?
The smooth muscles in the walls of the digestive system contract to keep food moving through the alimentary canal. In the small intestine, there are circular and longitudinal muscles which together produce the pinching and squeezing movement we call peristalsis. The heart itself is made of muscle, a special kind called cardiac muscle, and its contractions are what pushes the blood around.
What kind of movements occur when smooth muscles contract rythmically in small sections of the tube?
When smooth muscles contract rhythmically in small sections of a tube, it produces peristaltic movements. This coordinated contraction and relaxation propel contents along the tube, as seen in the digestive tract. The rhythmic contractions help mix and push food through the intestines, facilitating digestion and absorption. This process is essential for moving substances in various tubular organs, including the esophagus and intestines.
What kind of muscle controls a circular opening?
A sphincter muscle controls a circular opening in the body. It serves to regulate the passage of substances through the opening by contracting or relaxing. Examples include the anal sphincter and the sphincter muscles in the digestive system.
