Most insects have a dorsal tube that is divided into different chambers. This is what serves as the heart in an insect. The dorsal tube is located toward the thorax which is in the midsection of the insect.

Which part of an insect contains the heart and the stomach?

Insects have a segmented body structure consisting of three main parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen. The heart, which is part of the insect's circulatory system, is located in the abdomen, specifically along the dorsal side. The stomach, or midgut, is also found in the abdomen, where it plays a crucial role in digestion. Thus, both the heart and stomach are contained within the abdominal segment of an insect.
