Sažetak
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.
