Comparative anatomy is a study of the differences and similarities in the anatomy of two species. In general, it includes a comparison of body structures of two species. The two major concepts of the comparative anatomy include analogous structures and homologous structures.
Analogous Structures
Analogous structures are similar structures in different organisms. They are evolved independently in two living organisms to serve the same purpose.
Homologous Structures
Homologous structures are similar in two organisms which have the same ancestors but the functions performed may or may not be the same.
