The mass-radius, mass-orbital period, spectral type-orbital period and absolute magnitude-orbital period relationships for the secondary star components of cataclysmic variable (CV) binary stars are discussed. By comparing these with those expected for systems containing Roche lobe-filling main sequence stars, using empirical data for low-mass main sequence stars, it is shown thatas a group the CV secondaries do not differ significantly from main sequence stars.
