The heart is normally tubular and usually consists of a longitudinal blood vessel lying in the midline dorsally. http://www.science.edu.sg/ssc/detailed.jsp?artid=1103&type=6&root=4&parent=4&cat=35 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. http://onlineroom.blogspot.com/2007/10/interesting-heart-of-shrimp.html Dec 19 07, 2:08 PM
