Your intestines contain a medial layer of smooth muscle. When the smooth muscle in your intestines is innervated this causes contractions of those smooth muscles. This action then propels food through the intestines. This is called peristalsis. So, as far as I know there are no other muscle groups that aide in digestions. There are however, a plethora of chemicals and enzymes that assist in the digestive process.
