960. Those who are in the province of the kidneys and the adrenal glands, divert grosser elements into themselves, and thus purify those which must be very pure
It may be known that both the urinary Kidneys and the suprarenal glands divert unclean elements into themselves, the Kidneys specifically, unclean elements of the serum, and the suprarenal glands the more unclean elements of the spirit of the blood. It is for this reason that the spermatic vessels descend from the organs devoted to waste.
960. THOSE WHO ARE IN THE PROVINCE OF THE KIDNEYS, AND SUCCENTURIATE KIDNEYS, 1DRAW THE GROSSER THINGS TO THEMSELVES, AND THUS PURIFY THINGS WHICH MUST BE MADE PURER
It can be known that the kidneys, both the urinary and the succenturiate, draw off to themselves unclean things - the kidneys the unclean things of the serum, and the succenturiate kidneys the more unclean things of the spirit of the blood. Therefore the spermatic vessels descend from the emulgent vessels.
