Question

The movement of food is a function of ________ muscles.
A)Involuntary
B)Sensory
C)Cardiac
D)Striated

Accepted Answer

The movement of food is a function of involuntary muscles, also known as smooth muscles or non-striated muscles. These muscles are found in the walls of the digestive system and they contract and relax to move food through the digestive tract. Sensory muscles are responsible for sensing things like touch, pressure, and temperature, and cardiac muscles are found only in the heart. Striated muscles are also known as skeletal muscles and are responsible for movement of the body's bones. However, they are not directly involved in the movement of food through the digestive system.
