Intestines are lined with what are called smooth muscle tissue. These muscles differ primarily from the muscles attached, for example, to your joints in that their movement is rhythmic and involuntarily controlled. (The heart is another example of smooth muscle movement.) It is this rhythmic, involuntary contraction that moves food through the intestines.

What two types of movements occur in the small intestine?
The two types of movement in the small intestine are peristalsis and segmental movements. Segmental movements, which are more common in the small intestine than peristalsis, move the digesting food back and forth in a part of the small intestine. This lets the food mix with intestinal juices. Peristalsis is one-way movement that pushes the digesting food through the small intestine toward the large intestine.
