What muscle helps with food digestion and breathing?
Previous answer: "involuntary muscles"This answer is not accurate. While breathing muscles do act involuntarily, they can also be activated voluntarily. The two primary muscles responsible for breathing are the diaphragm and the tranversus abdominus. The diaphragm is the primary muscle for inhalation, if you're breathing correctly. The transverse is the primary muscle for forced exhalation.Since both muscle, when contracting, move inward into the abdominal cavity, where your organs of digestion are, they move the internal organs, essentially creating an internal massage mechanism for the large and small intestines, which helps keep smooth motion going in the involuntary pyloric (intestinal) muscles.
