What part of the grasshopper is for locomotion?
The thorax which has the legs and wings attached to it.
What changes occur in the thorax during ventilation?
During ventilation, the thorax expands as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity. This expansion decreases the pressure inside the thorax, causing air to rush into the lungs to equalize the pressure. Relaxation of these muscles allows the thorax to recoil back to its original position, pushing air out of the lungs.
How do the two lungs work together?

When you breathe in does the volume of the thorax increase or decrease?
When you breathe in, the volume of the thorax increases. This is due to the contraction of the diaphragm and expansion of the rib cage, creating more space for the lungs to expand and fill with air.
What body part are the legs and wings attached to?
The thorax. See the related link for more information.
What happens during inhalation phase of breathing?
Pressure within the thorax decreases and air is drawn into the lungs
What is an ants thorax?
