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.
Smooth muscle is found in your internal organs and one of the things it controls is digestion...
Smooth muscle is present in the gallbladder. It helps the gallbladder contract and release bile into the digestive system to aid in the digestion of fats.
Smooth muscles are found in the intestines and stomach. If these were skeletal muscles, instead of smooth, you would have to physically think about digesting your food to control digestion, and no food would get digested while you were busy or sleeping!it is the smooth muscles only.Smooth muscle

The muscle that controls movement inside the body is called smooth muscle. Smooth muscles are involuntary and are found in the walls of internal organs, such as the stomach and intestines, where they help facilitate processes like digestion and circulation. Unlike skeletal muscles, which are under voluntary control, smooth muscles operate automatically to regulate bodily functions without conscious effort.
No. The medulla controls heart rate, along with breathing and digestion.

The type of muscle tissue that is involuntary, non-striated, and has tapered cells is smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is found in various organs, such as the intestines, blood vessels, and the bladder, where it helps facilitate involuntary movements like digestion and regulation of blood flow. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle does not have the striations caused by organized sarcomeres.
