Avicenna, as he is known in the West, was a famous Persian Muslim physician and influential philosopher-scientist of the medieval Islamic world. He wrote and compiled the Canon of Medicine text, a book which was adopted as the main text of medicine at the most Persian and Western universities. The book consists of basic medical sciences, applied clinical sciences and pharmacology. In the current study, we present an analysis of the anatomy of the musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous systems as viewed by Avicenna in the Canon of Medicine, and compare them with the relevant modern literature.
阿维森纳在西方广为人知,他是中世纪伊斯兰世界一位著名的波斯穆斯林医生和有影响力的哲学家兼科学家。他撰写并编纂了《医学准则》,这本书在大多数波斯和西方大学被用作医学的主要教材。该书涵盖基础医学科学、应用临床科学和药理学。在本研究中,我们对阿维森纳在《医学准则》中所描述的肌肉骨骼系统和周围神经系统的解剖结构进行了分析,并将其与相关现代文献进行比较。
