The amount of processing power and electronic componentry required to provide true AI
produces a significant amount of heat, particularly in such a relatively small frame. Due to this, androids require some kind of cooling system to prevent overheating. This excess warm air could have simply been exhausted through a venting system in the android's chassis, but designers decided that in order to better integrate these machines into human society, they should mimic human behaviour wherever appropriate. Therefore it was decided that the android's cooling, intake and exhaust system would utilize the chest cavity and throat/mouth, intaking cool air and expelling warm air in much the same way as a human breathes.
Any excess warm air that builds up during particularly high load operations is expelled through the anal redundancy vent.
