Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smooth muscle is responsible for the movement of food through the gastrointestinal tract. This muscle is found in the walls of the digestive organs and acts involuntarily to push food along the tract. Skin epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and has no role in digestion. Tendons connect muscles to bones and do not play a role in digestion. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is responsible for its contraction, but it does not play a role in digestion.
