ʿAlāʾal-Dīn Abūal-Ḥasan ʿAlīibn AbīḤazm al-Qarashīal-Dimashqī,known as Ibn al-Nafīs,was an Arab polymath whose areas of work included medicine,surgery,physiology,anatomy,biology,Islamic studies,jurisprudence,and philosophy. He is known for being the first to describe the pulmonary circulation of the blood.
