Blood filtration pair
Kidneys are the pair of organs that filter blood and produce urine, located in the back of the abdominal cavity.
In cooking, kidneys from animals like lamb or beef are prepared as offal: steak and kidney pie.
Figuratively, kidneys once referred to temperament or character, surviving mainly in phrases like of that kidney, meaning of that type or disposition.
