M2 MacBook Pro 13inch fan question

On the m2 MacBook Pro 13 inch where is the intake and exhaust for the fan located. Where does it draw cold air from and where does it exhaust the hot air. From my research I hear it’s all in the bottom side of the hinge on this model but I’m not sure. I want to know what areas to keep open and such for good ventilation

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0

You can see the animation on Apples website: MacBook Pro 13-inch - Apple


hit the replay button after the jump—>scroll to "Thermal Efficiency."..






I will add—The M2 model has only a single fan inside its 13″ chassis. The 14″ model with the Pro chip has two fans.
