A great scientist encyclopaedist of the Middle ages Abu Ali Ibn Sina (Avicenna) in his brillant work "Cannon of medical science" systematized and interpreted the achievments of medical sciences, made his contribution into medical theory and practice. If we take together all the data on bones and muscles presented by him in his "Cannon of medical science" and arrange them in the sequence they are given in the body, a graceful systematized table of scientific knowlege on bones and muscles--a prototype of future osteology and myology will be obtained. In the "Canon of medical science" sources of the functional trend in morphology are layed: structure of the osseous and muscular systems is closely connected with the practical medicine. In his work Ibn Sina gives a correct and precise description of anatomical structure of the osseous system and bone functions, and the muscular system, in particular. A thorough study of the "Canon of medical science" clearly demonstrates that Ibn Sina made a great contribution, for his time, into the development of anatomy, not only successfully followed his predecessors, but greatly extended their scientific researches and corrected their errors.
中世纪伟大的科学家、百科全书编纂者阿布·阿里·伊本·西那（阿维森纳）在其杰出著作《医学准则》中，对医学成就进行了系统化整理和阐释，为医学理论与实践做出了贡献。若将他在《医学准则》中呈现的所有关于骨骼和肌肉的数据汇总，并按照其在人体中的排列顺序进行整理，就能得到一个关于骨骼和肌肉的科学知识的优美系统化表格——这是未来骨科学和肌科学的雏形。在《医学准则》中奠定了形态学功能趋向的基础：骨骼和肌肉系统的结构与实用医学紧密相连。伊本·西那在其著作中对骨骼系统的解剖结构和骨骼功能，尤其是肌肉系统，给出了正确而精确的描述。对《医学准则》的深入研究清楚地表明，伊本·西那在当时为解剖学的发展做出了巨大贡献，他不仅成功地追随了前人，还极大地扩展了他们的科学研究并纠正了他们的错误。
