The two organs that render an animal trefe if lacking the proper number are the lungs and the feet (specifically the hindlegs).

Halachot 9–10 distinguish between fright caused by heaven (permitted after the water test) and fright caused by human action (forbidden outright).
Question 3
In an animal, the two thin sinews at the juncture are severed but the one thick sinew remains intact. What is the ruling?
The thick sinew is considered larger than both thin ones combined. Since the larger portion remains intact, the animal is permitted.
Question 4

An olive-sized portion must remain at the place from which the liver is suspended.
Question 5
An animal is born with only one kidney. What is its status for eating?
