Which one of the following organs is the main respiratory organ of whale?
Answers
Respiration is one of the most important biological procedures in any living organism.No living organism can live without respiration for more than 5-10 seconds.
Every species have their own respiratory organs according to their living environment from where they get their respiratory oxygen.
Whales live in the ocean water.They have lungs because they are mammals not fish.And they cannot breath in the water, they get their respiratory oxygen from the atmospheric air.
"Lungs
Whales have their lungs to breathe. Unlike other mammals, whales do not have nostrils. Instead, they have blowholes. Blowholes are a physical feature of whales and dolphins characterized by a muscular hole on the top of their heads. Whenever the whales reach the water surface, the blowhole opens and it blows air out and in. While blowing out air, it can cause the water to spray which is called the spout. When underwater, the muscles around the blowhole ensure that it stays closed."
