Abstract

Introduction: Considering the knowledge of anatomy helps in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and on the other hand, the study of manuscripts and medical texts of traditional medicine shows that physicians of that time studied the anatomy and physiology of the body in order to accurately identify diseases and find remedies. Knowledge of the anatomy of the body helps to diagnose and treatment of diseases. The purpose of this study was to compare the anatomy of trunk anatomy in traditional medicine with modern medicine.
Materials and Methods: This was a review study. First, the texts of traditional medicine from the Canon book, anatomy by Tafreshi, Hidayat al-Mutaallimin, Tashrih - Mansuri, Anatomy, and zakhire-e kharazmshahi by Jorjani was investigated. Then, the anatomical subjects in Gary and Snell's Anatomy were studied and recorded. Finally, the contents were compared in the form of tables.
Results: The study of medical texts of traditional medicine shows that physicians at the time considered the anatomy and physiology of the various organs of the body the basis of medical science, and considered it necessary to accurately identify diseases and find ways to cure them. Explaining the anatomical topics illustrates the mastery and precision view of traditional medicine practitioners of the anatomy and physiology of body structure. Although there are many similarities in the anatomy of the trunk, some anatomical descriptions differ between the two traditional medical schools.
