This would be the muscularis layer of the intestines and uterus.
Myometrium
Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, primarily regulate movement in the body. There are three types of muscle cells: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle cells enable voluntary movement of the skeleton, cardiac muscle cells control the heart's rhythmic contractions, and smooth muscle cells manage involuntary movements in various organs. Additionally, neurons play a critical role in coordinating and signaling these movements.

Smooth tissue refers to a type of tissue that lacks striation and is typically found in organs like blood vessels and the digestive tract. Muscle tissue encompasses three types: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Smooth tissue is a specific type of muscle tissue known as smooth muscle tissue.
A rhythmic contraction refers to a repeated pattern of muscle contractions at regular intervals. This can occur in various muscles in the body, including the heart muscle during the cardiac cycle. Rhythmic contractions are important for fundamental physiological processes such as pumping blood or generating movement.

It is called involuntary muscle or smooth muscle.

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.
By rhythmic movements called peristalsis. They are wavelike contractions of smooth muscle that propel food through the GI tract.
Smooth muscle tissue constricts the lumen of the small intestine involuntarily. This muscle tissue is responsible for moving food and materials through the digestive tract by contracting and relaxing in a rhythmic pattern.
Longitudinal and circular muscles. These are known as antagonistic muscles, meaning that one relaxes whilst the other contracts.
