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 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.
