a: frontal lobe ~
b: control tower
What:
"The doctor explained that the frontal lobe is like the brain's control tower. Axel could fly just fine but the control tower was only operating at half its capacity; thus the flow of traffic was not all that well organized with just a few too many glitches."

a: kidney ~
b: a woman
What:
"I was not surprised. The kidney is like a woman, complicated, multi-tasking, and often sensitive. Young resident doctors are drawn to all her specialized cells, her channels controlling the movement of potassium, sodium, magnesium, and more electrolytes between them, and all that can go wrong with them. She is a thing of beauty. She cannot be duplicated. At least not well."
