The muscle associated with the intestine is primarily the smooth muscle, which is responsible for peristalsis—the rhythmic contraction that moves food through the digestive tract. Additionally, the circular and longitudinal layers of smooth muscle in the intestinal walls facilitate digestion and absorption. In the context of the large intestine, the taeniae coli, a band of smooth muscle, helps in the formation of haustra, or pouches, in the colon.
smooth muscle pushes food through the intestine and smooth muscle is a involuntary muscle

They are involuntary muscles.
They are involuntary muscles.
The sphincter muscle, or ileocecal valve is located at the junction of the small and large intestine.
So the intestine can contract and son the food passed through the gut can pass on
