How do you know if the fan is working on the mac book pro

How can you tell if your fan is working on your mac book pro? I cannot hear mine running and can't feel any air coming out. A couple of weeks ago, my battery literally exploded out of the case, Is this an item that can be self serviced or does it require a trip to the Apple repair store?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Take it to the store, do not use it before you do.

Macbook pro fan usually has really LOW noise, and it is not really strong, so you might not feel the air.

Fans are used to cool the CPU and GPU, not batteries.

But if you need to replace fans or batteries, take it to the store. Make reservations to save time.
