Do you mean homologous and analogous organs? I'll assume that's what you mean.

Okay, so homologous organs are organs whose structure is same but function is different. Because their internal structure is same, they are believed to have the same origin (i.e., a common ancestor). This is why its called 'homo' which means 'same'.

Example: forelimbs of humans and birds. The basic structure looks same, but the function is quite different .

Analogous organs are organs whose structure is different, but function is same. Because of this, their origin is considered to be different. It's basically the opposite of homologous organs.

Example: wings of a bird and a bat. the function is same - flying - but the basic structure is different.

Hope this helps! :)
