Best Answer

Location of and support for the maxillae (lower jaws) are the ways that the base of the head helps in a grasshopper's eating habits. The lower jaws help mouthparts cut prey and hold edibles in place. The stability is needed since grasshopper mandibles (upper jaws) move horizontally (sideways), not vertically (up and down).

Where is chapteh made?

Chaptehs are shuttlecock with a flat round head. The head (or base) is made from thick paper or better rubber sheet. It should give it the weight to lead the shuttle when in flight. They said that goose feathers are the best for chapteh, but I doubt that. You will need at least 4 feathers on the chapteh. They are bounded to the rubber base with a nails and rubber band. The base is nailed through the center. When playing with the chapteh, you kick it with your feet, knee, head, just like sepak takraw.

Where is a shrimps heart located?

A shrimps heart is located on its head. If we base it on the exact anatomy of a shrimp, its heart is located on its thorax just after the head, but both the head and the thorax are covered with a single exoskeleton only, that is why the shrimps thorax can be mistaken as still part of the shrimps head. But in general, we see a shrimp divided only into 2 parts, the head and the tail, we see no thorax in it.


Do chickens have two brains If not how does a chicken run without a head?

when a chicken has its head cut off, there are still nerves working in the body - with no head - it is these nerves that cause the chicken to run for a few seconds after death (I was told by a teacher at school that they just have a bundle of nerves in their neck, which explains how they can run around headless if their neck was severed close to the base of their head. I guess they would usually die of blood loss when this happens...)
