     structure. Especially:
     (a) (Geom.) Corresponding in relative position and
         proportion.
         [1913 Webster]
  
               In similar polygons, the corresponding sides,
               angles, diagonals, etc., are homologous. --Davies &

         relations to a fundamental type to structure; as, those
         bones in the hand of man and the fore foot of a horse are
         homologous that correspond in their structural relations,
         that is, in their relations to the type structure of the
         fore limb in vertebrates.
