Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following muscles is responsible for the involuntary movement of substances through the intestines. Is it answer choice? A smooth muscles, answer choice. B skeletal muscles, answer choice, C cardiac muscles or answer choice. D none of the options is correct. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the falling muscles is responsible for the involuntary movement of substances through the intestines. So in order to solve this question, let's recall what we know about what each type of muscle is responsible for to try to determine which muscle is responsible for the involuntary movement of substances through the intestines. Starting off with answer choice. A we have smooth muscles which we note that the smooth muscles are found in the walls of organs and tubes such as the intestines, blood vessels and respiratory passages. Next, we have skeletal muscles which we note that the skeletal muscles are the muscles that attach to the bones and are responsible for voluntary movements such as walking, running or lifting. And lastly, we have the cardiac muscles, which we know that the cardiac muscles are found in the heart and are responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. So, looking at our three types of muscles, which one is responsible for the involuntary movement of substances through the intestines. Well, we know that answer choice. A smooth muscles are found in the walls of organs and tubes such as those intestines, which means that answer choice. A smooth muscles is the correct answer. Since it is the type of muscles that are found in the intestines and involve the involuntary movement of substances. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
