Marine mammals also breathe air‚ and must come up to the surface of the water to breathe. They have small lungs in relation to their body size compared to humans to reduce problems of nitrogen building up in the blood caused by diving. They have to make sure no water gets into the gas exchange system‚ and gas exchange must occur efficiently. Marine mammals have to be able to hold their breaths for long periods of time while they are diving. Air enters the lungs through the trachea‚ which splits into
