∙ 13y agoThere are several parts of the grasshoppers mouth: Labrum (upper lip), Lingua (the hypopharynx), Maxillae, Labium (lower lip), and Mandibles.
A pair of Mandibles on the grasshopper are hard, horny, heavy, and large, with jagged inner edges and dark colored triangular structures found one on either side. The two mandibles move in horizontal motion and crush food between them (Ex: grass).
All the mouth parts are to cut, crush, and grind vegetative food in order to digest.

Which region of a grasshoppers body is specialized for sensory functions?
The head because: Antenna - A pair of jointed appendages located on the head of an insect above the mouthparts. Antenna is something like our nose but sense more information than our nose. It perceives odours, touch, humidity, vibration, wind velocity and direction. Ocelli - Also known as simple Eyes. Those eyes can only detect light intensity and not actually see anything. It is believed that they help to find the sea-level or horizontal during flying. Compound Eye - There are usually two compound eyes, located on each side of the head. Each eye composes of a number of individual units called ommatidia , which is marked by a hexagonal facet. Compound eyes can see shape, colour, movement, and tell the distance. Grasshoppers have large compound eyes and and have a board field of vision. Mouthparts - Mouthparts have evolved for special needs for different insects. They can chew, suck, pierce, lap, and sponge-up their food. Grasshopper has the most primitive type of mouthparts for chewing. Basically all types of mouthparts are evolved from the chewing type. The labrum is suspended from the clypeus and form the upper lip. Their function is to help keep food in the mouth. The mandibles are transverse jaws for cutting and grinding. Behind the mandibles there is the maxillae. The maxillae also function as a set of jaws for food manipulation. The labium functions as a lower lip. Maxillary palpus and labial palpus are used for touching, tasting, and sensing temperature.
