Peristalsis.
Peristalsis is the term for the waves of muscular movement that push food through the digestive system. Peristalsis is accomplished through the activity of smooth muscle.

the nervous system triggers movement
Isotonic contractions are the type that involve muscle movement. This movement is due to a change in length as the muscle fibers shorten or lengthen.
Peristalsis is the term used to describe the muscular wave-like movement that helps propel food through the digestive system. This process involves coordinated contractions and relaxations of muscles in the digestive tract, helping to facilitate the movement of food from the mouth to the stomach and eventually through the intestines. Peristalsis plays a crucial role in digestion and absorption of nutrients.
The smooth muscles in the intestines push the materials through itself and the digestive system provides the necessary protein and energy the muscle system needs.
Perastalsis, the wave of muscular contractions that moves food through the entire digestive system.
Peristalsis. The process of peristalsis begins in the esophagus when a bolus of food is swallowed.
Food travels down the esophagus or intestines by a muscle movement called "Peristalsis" that constantly pushes the food down into the stomach.
the muscular and cardiovascular system.
Mass movement in the digestive system refers to the coordinated muscular contractions of the large intestine that propel waste materials towards the rectum. This process helps move feces through the colon and ultimately aids in the elimination of waste from the body. Mass movements usually occur after meals due to the gastrocolic reflex.
