Detailed explanation-1: -The three main insect body parts are head, thorax, and abdomen. The head contains the antennae, eyes, and mouthparts. The thorax is the middle body part to which the legs and wings are attached. The abdomen contains digestive and reproductive organs internally and often reproductive structures externally.
Detailed explanation-2: -An insect has three body parts. The front part is called the head. The middle part is called the thorax. The last part is called the abdomen.
Detailed explanation-3: -The insect body is divided into three parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen. The head is specialized for sensory input and food intake; the thorax, which is the anchor point for the legs and wings (if present), is specialized for locomotion; and the abdomen for digestion, respiration, excretion, and reproduction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Spiders have a combination of head and thorax (cephalothorax) and abdomen. This house fly drawing illustrates mouthparts and wing and leg segments among other characteristics. Note that halteres are unique to flies and are used for balance.
Detailed explanation-5: -The insect thorax consists of three segments (called the prothorax, mesothorax, and metathorax), which may be fused but are usually recognizable. Each segment has four groups of hard plates (sclerites); the groups are the notum (upper), the pleura (sides), and the sternum (underside).
