Answer:

Smooth muscle

Step-by-step explanation:

Peristalsis is a type of motility formed by a pattern of smooth muscle contractions. This movement comprises relaxation and then their contraction behind the bolo (chewed food) to avoid its movement backwards, finally a longitudinal contraction push this bolo forward.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
