homologous
The body parts similar in origin and structure you're referring to are "homologous" structures. These structures arise from a common ancestor and have similar anatomical features, despite potentially serving different functions in various species. An example is the forelimbs of mammals, which share a similar bone structure but are adapted for different purposes, such as flying in bats and swimming in whales.

Body parts similar in orgin and structure?
Similarity bewtween characteristics and traits because if a shared ancestory, Body parts that are similar in structure and function in different animals
Which term describes body parts of different organisms that are similar in form?
The structure of the body and the relationship between body parts.
Homologous structures are body parts of different organisms that have a similar form, suggesting a common evolutionary origin. These structures may serve different functions in each organism but share a common ancestry.
Analogous structures are body parts that have a similar function in different species but have evolved separately, thus not sharing a common ancestor. These structures result from convergent evolution, where organisms adapt to similar environmental pressures.
The proximal region refers to the part of a structure that is near the point of origin or attachment. It is the opposite of the distal region, which is further away from the point of origin or attachment. This terminology is commonly used in anatomy to describe the relative positions of different body parts.
