}THE structure of the head of the sperm whale (Physeter catodon) was described in outline by Pouchet and Beauregard1–3 and by Raven and Gregory4, but the function of the large, wax filled spermaceti organ and related structures is not known although several theories4–6 have been advanced.

Buoyancy Control as a Function of the Spermaceti Organ in the Sperm Whale
- Biology

Evidence will be presented in support of the hypothesis that the sperm whale can attain neutral buoyancy at depths greater than 200 m by control of the temperature of the spermaceti oil in its head by showing that the whale probably has some control over its own buoyancy.

Comparison of nasal structures in sperm whales and other toothed whales reveals that the existing air sac system as well as the fat bodies and the musculature have the same topographical relations and thus may be homologous in all toOThed whales (Odontoceti).

The spermaceti organ unique to the Physeteridae forms a part of the functional morphology of the right naris and is not a bilaterally symmetrical structure like the melon of other odontocetes.
