Your digestive system is very complex. The stomach is the first muscle to move food into the small intestines and from there the large intestines. The biggest area of digestion is in the intestines which are the longest muscles in the body.

The 'peristalsis' or squeezing motion of the gastro-intestinal tract moves the food, not any specific muscle(s).
