The dolphin forcefully exhales water when surfacing for air to clear the recessed blowhole area of water. There is a network of complex nerve endings located in the region of the blowhole. These nerve endings sense pressure changes so the animal knows when its blowhole is clear of the water and it is safe to breathe.
