The smooth muscle tissue moves food (bolus) through the intestines. The skeletal muscles in the abdomen are in four groups; abdominus rectus, internal and external obliques and the deepest, the transverse abdominals. They are used in lifting the legs, rotating the torso etc. Their main purpose is to stabilize your body position while moving.
