During fetal life, the lungs are not filled with water but are instead filled with a fluid produced by the lungs themselves, primarily consisting of pulmonary fluid. This fluid helps to keep the airways open and facilitates lung development. The fetus does not breathe air, as oxygen is exchanged through the placenta. At birth, the fluid is expelled or absorbed, and the lungs fill with air for the first time.

Why would your lungs float in water?
Lungs are filled with air and have a lower density than water, causing them to float when submerged in water. The air trapped within the lungs helps them maintain buoyancy in water.

If a section of a lung is cut from a fetal pig and dropped in a glass of water it will sink as it contains no air. Give an explanation why the lung of a fetal pig would not contain air.?
The lungs of a fetal pig do not contain air because a developing fetus receives oxygen and nutrients from the mother's bloodstream through the placenta, not from breathing air. Therefore, there is no need for the lungs to be inflated with air until birth when the piglet starts breathing independently.

How much water does the body lose each day from the lungs?
Two ways, your body sends water to the lungs. This usually happens during infections of the lungs, such as pneumonia. Or you can "inhale" water. Your body is trained to "swallow" water, so you have to be intaking air when water is introduced.
Can someone breath under water?
People cannot breath under water because lungs are structured to extract oxygen from air and do not work if they are filled with liquid.
