Organogenesis: Philosophy of Traditional Unani and Arab Medicine versus Modern Medicine

Abstract

The body is made up of different organs, which enable it to support the various structures and functions. These organs are developed from denser part of Akhlat (Humours) and Akhlat are made from Arkan (Basic constituents); every organ has its own functions but depends on other organ to perform them. There are two types of organs in human body, simple and compound, simple organs are homogeneous as their parts are of similar type. Compound organs are heterogeneous and composed of many simple organs; these are also called as the instruments of expression. All movements and functions are carried out through them.
