The thorax is the region of an insect's body that is specialized for movement.
Specifically, the term comes from the Greek word (thorax) for "breastplate, corslet, cuirass." It designates the middle region of an insect's body, after the head and before the abdomen. It is the location of the insect's legs (for crawling, jumping, "walking") and wings (for flying).
Wings and legs all connect to the thorax.

The thorax is the region of a grasshopper's body that is specialized for movement.Specifically, the thorax designates the grasshopper's middle region, between the head and the abdomen. It includes fore and hind wings for flying. It also involves two pairs of front legs for walking and two pairs of rear legs for jumping.
the head
The thorax because the 2 pairs of walking legs, 1 pair of jumping leg, the fore wing, and the hind wing are attached to that region.

Muscle cells are specialized for movement of the body. They have extra mitochondria so that they can utilize the energy necessary to contract muscles. A whole chain of muscle cells contracting will cause the muscle to "flex."
The thorax is the region of the grasshopper that is specialized for movement.Specifically, the term designates the region between a grasshopper's (suborder Caelifera) head and a grasshopper's abdomen. It is the region to which the grasshopper's three sets of legs are attached, for "walking" in the case of the first two and jumping in terms of the third. It also is where the wings for flying will be found.
The thorax is the one of the grasshopper's three body regions which is specialized for movement.Specifically, the region is the one in the middle, behind the head and before the abdomen. It is the place to which three pairs of jointed legs are attached, for jumping and "walking." It also is where the wings will be found so that the grasshopper can exercise the option of flying between locations.
The Head
The thorax, the middle section. The legs and wings are attached here and it holds the muscles to move them. The head holds mainly brains, eyes and mouthparts, the abdomen holds internal organs.
In a squid, its entire body helps it to move. The movement first takes place in the brain. The cilia is used as are muscle contractions that take place all over the squid's body.
