Ibn Sina (1037 AD), also known as Avicenna in the West, is recognized as one of the forefathers of modern medicine. He was widely accepted as an influential and leading scientific figure of the medieval ages. His book the "Canon of Medicine" collected all aspects of medical knowledge available from ancient Greek and Muslim sources and also added his own. The medical information he collected ranged from basic medical sciences to applied and specialized medical fields. In the current vignette, we present an analysis of the basic anatomy of the brain, spinal cord and some sense organs as presented in the Canon of medicine and compare their relevance in modern medical practice and human anatomy knowledge.
伊本·西那(公元 1037 年),在西方也被称为阿维森纳,被公认为现代医学的先驱之一。他被广泛认为是中世纪具有影响力和领导地位的科学人物。他的著作《医典》收集了从古希腊和穆斯林来源获得的所有医学知识,并且还加入了他自己的研究。他所收集的医学信息涵盖了基础医学科学到应用和专业医学领域。在本小节中,我们对《医典》中所呈现的大脑、脊髓和一些感觉器官的基础解剖结构进行分析,并比较它们在现代医学实践和人体解剖学知识中的相关性。
