Similar Shapes

The intestinal model on the left shows the finger-like villi that
absorb nutrients.  They look remarkably similar to the arms of
 the sea star, that grasp prey or a rock's surface.

The efficient design of finger-like projections carries across organisms.

Spheres, circles, and tubes pop up a lot too.

I'm on a search for nature's designs :).
