It is believed that some of the oxygen is stored in a special(64)of blood vessels, rather than just held in the lungs. And it is believed that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort of compensating mechanism that(65)adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But since you can’t bring a live whale into the laboratory, for study, no one knows just how these things work.
