Analogy can be used in order to find solutions for the problematic situations (problems) that occur in everyday life. If something works with one thing, it may also work with another thing which is similar to the former.

For example, “Life is a box of chocolates.” An analogy is saying something is like something else to make some sort of explanatory point. For example, “Life is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you’re gonna get.” You can use metaphors and similes when creating an analogy.

(1) The two processes are not analogous. (2) The two situations are roughly analogous. (3) The company is in a position closely analogous to that of its main rival. (4) The report’s findings are analogous with our own.

Analogous Term: A term that is intended to convey one or more similar characteristics that exist between two concepts. E.g. the term “data owner” is applied to individuals who have no legal title to the data they manage, but are expected to exercise responsibilities like those owners would typically exercise.

For example, the wings of a fly, a moth, and a bird are analogous because they developed independently as adaptations to a common function—flying. The presence of the analogous structure, in this case the wing, does not reflect evolutionary closeness among the organisms that possess it.

: similar or comparable to something else either in general or in some specific detail Timbre in music is analogous to color in painting.—

In morphology, analogous traits arise when different species live in similar ways and/or a similar environment, and so face the same environmental factors. When occupying similar ecological niches (that is, a distinctive way of life) similar problems can lead to similar solutions.

Analogous colors examples

• Yellow, yellow-green, green.
• Violet, red-violet, and red.
• Red, red-orange, orange.
• Blue, blue-violet, violet.

a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump. an analogous relationship.

Example of analogous organ is the wings of the insect and the wings of the bird. The structure of wings of the bird has bones covered by flesh, skin, and feathers. Whereas the wings of insect is an extension of integument.

Analogous structures, as pointed earlier, are structures having a similar or corresponding function but the two species under probe should not share the same evolutionary origin. The forelimbs of mammals, such as humans and bats, are homologous structures.

Homologous structures share a similar embryonic origin; analogous organs have a similar function. For example, the bones in the front flipper of a whale are homologous to the bones in the human arm. The wings of a butterfly and the wings of a bird are analogous but not homologous.

In biology, an organ (from the Latin “organum” meaning an instrument or tool) is a collection of tissues that structurally form a functional unit specialized to perform a particular function. Your heart, kidneys, and lungs are examples of organs.

Some of the easily recognisable internal organs and their associated functions are:

• The brain. The brain is the control centre of the nervous system and is located within the skull.
• The lungs.
• The liver.
• The bladder.
• The kidneys.
• The heart.
• The stomach.
• The intestines.

Among these 78 organs, five organs are considered as vital for survival. These include the heart, brain, kidneys, liver and lungs….Types of Organs in a Human Body.

The brain

Here are some of the “non-vital organs”.

• Spleen. This organ sits on the left side of the abdomen, towards the back under the ribs.
• Stomach.
• Reproductive organs.
• Colon.
• Gallbladder.
• Appendix.
• Kidneys.

If you have both kidneys completely removed, you will not make any urine. You will need to have kidney dialysis. This is a way of getting rid of waste products and excess water that the kidneys normally filter out of your blood.

Heart

For example, if you didn’t have a ribcage, your heart would be very vulnerable. Bones also store essential body minerals, and bone marrow produces new cells for our bloodstream.

You’ll be surprised as to how much you could lose and still live. You can still have a fairly normal life without one of your lungs, a kidney, your spleen, appendix, gall bladder, adenoids, tonsils, plus some of your lymph nodes, the fibula bones from each leg and six of your ribs.

No way. Without bones you’d be just a puddle of skin and guts on the floor. Bones have two purposes. Some, like your backbone, provide the structure which enables you to stand erect instead of lying like a puddle on the floor.

Your ribs serve a vital purpose in protecting the organs in your chest cavity. Although your ribs are sturdy, they can be vulnerable to injuries and other diseases that can cause rib pain.

Many women with visible ribs have excellent cholesterol profiles, a perfectly normal heart and digestive system, low blood pressure, normal blood work and have beautiful skin and strong nails. A woman who truly is too thin will most often show ribs.

You are too skinny if your ribs are visible Skinny people have evidently visible ribs. A few thin people have visible ribs. But when you can count at least 4 rib bones without actually touching them, it’s a sign you are skinny.

Your ribs attach to a long, flat bone in the center of the chest called the sternum and attach to and wrap around your back.
