Density of the lungs and kidneys?

The typical density values for the lungs and kidneys are as follows:

1. Lungs:

- Average Density: Approximately 0.2-0.5 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

- The density of the lungs is generally low due to the presence of air-filled alveoli, which make up a large portion of their volume.

2. Kidneys:

- Average Density: Approximately 1.05-1.10 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).

- The density of kidneys is higher compared to lungs because they are composed of denser tissues such as renal parenchyma, blood vessels, and connective tissues, with less air or gas-filled spaces.

These values can vary depending on factors such as an individual's health conditions, hydration levels, and the specific region or portion of the lung or kidney being considered.
