Muscles do not actually push anything throughout the body. However, smooth muscles help propel food and waste through the gastrointestinal tract, which is known as peristaltic action. It is more like a rhythmic wave than a 'push'. The other occurs in the skeletal muscles; as they contract and relax, they help blood flow through the veins which have one-way valves.
