Answer 1

Muscles help move nutrients through the body to the stomach.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, food moves through the digestive system. Muscles in the walls of the hollow organs contract and relax to cause this movement, which pushes food through the esophagus into the stomach. This wave-like motion is called peristalsis, and it moves the food through the digestive system due to peristaltic motion.
