Bones — structural member

Hard tissue and bodily foundation

The bones marker compresses a distributed structural tissue into one midline anchor so the visual system can show the body's hard framework beside the principal members. The wide uncertainty radius records that this is a symbolic skeletal focus rather than a single bone or organ.

Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna), al-Qānūn fī al-ṭibb (The Canon of Medicine), Book I (primary_canonical)

Book I, §§114 and 123–127, treats bones among the members and auxiliary structures that give the body support and organisation; it does not provide one normalized skeletal point.

Historical study of Islamic medicine's Galenic and Arabic developments, including Avicenna's humoral framework and Canon reception; it supports historical context but does not supply this normalized body diagram.
