Explanation

The insect head contains several fundamental mouthpart sections: the labrum (upper lip) whose ventral surface forms the epipharynx; the hypopharynx, a tongue-like organ, and the mandibles (jaws); as well as the paired maxillae and the labium (lower lip). Therefore, all these components collectively constitute the basic mouthpart structure.
