Not all arthropods have chewing mouthparts but for those that do: Mandibles: For shearing, piercing, and processing food. Labra (singular labrum): Functions as an "upper-lip." Maxillae: Ancestral biramous (two part) appendages for manipulating and tasting food. Maxillae can be fused or modified into derived structures. In some insects the second maxillae are fused to form a lower lip (labrum).
