Since antiquity, heart function and the mechanism of blood circulation within the human body have been the focus of attention of scientists from different parts of the world. Over the passage of time, the theories and works of these scientists have resulted in the achievement of today's knowledge of circulation. The medieval Persian scholar, Al-Akhawayni Bukhari (?-983AD), is among the physicians who investigated both the anatomy and the physiology of the human body. Al-Akhawayni describes the mechanism of pulmonary circulation in his only extant book, "Hidayat al-Muta`llemin fi al-Tibb" (A Scholar's Guide to Medicine) with which he made a contribution to the development of knowledge regarding this mechanism in the medicine of the Islamic world. In this paper, Al-Akhawayni's viewpoints on anatomy and the function of the heart, its related vessels, and also pulmonary circulation will be briefly discussed.
自古以来，人体的心脏功能和血液循环机制一直是来自世界各地的科学家关注的焦点。随着时间的推移，这些科学家的理论和著作促成了当今循环知识的成就。中世纪波斯学者，Al-Akhawayni Bukhari（-983AD），是研究人体解剖学和生理学的医生之一。Al-Akhawayni 在他唯一现存的著作《Hidayat al-Muta`llemin fi al-Tibb》（学者医学指南）中描述了肺循环的机制，他为伊斯兰世界的医学对这一机制的发展做出了贡献。本文将简要讨论 Al-Akhawayni 关于心脏解剖和功能、相关血管以及肺循环的观点。
