Revisiting Avicenna’s (ad 980–1037) Anatomical Concepts of the Musculoskeletal and Peripheral Nervous Systems in the Canon of Medicine

Abstract

Avicena, perzijski muslimanski liječnik koji je na Zapadu poznat pod tim imenom, bio je utjecajan filozof-znanstvenik srednjovjekovnoga islamskog svijeta. Napisao je i sastavio tekst Kanon medicine, knjigu koja je na većini perzijskih i zapadnih sveučilišta prihvaćena kao udžbenik medicine. Knjiga sadrži osnovne medicinske znanosti, primijenjene kliničke znanosti i farmakologiju. U ovom istraživanju predstavljamo analizu anatomije mišićno koštanog i perifernoga živčanog sustava, kako ju je Avicena predstavio u Kanonu medicine i uspoređujemo ju s modernom literaturom.

“…Then, he explained the physical examination to diagnose the broken ribs. The examination included inconsistency in 6 Ibn-Sina (1991) Al-Qanun Fit-Tibb. Translated by Abdurrahman Sharafkandi.…”

[ 10 ] In the light of this knowledge, he applied a probing procedure to the lacrimal system in related eye diseases.…”
