- 7. THE ARTS ANDTHE HUMAN BODY
- 9. Health and the Artist Visual artists are exposed to different chemicals in their paint and certain working conditions that puts their health to a risk. Art historians already suspect that Goya and Van Gogh may have suffered from the ill effects of the lead in their paints, which can cause depression, pain and personality changes. Caravaggio may have died due to excessive exposure to lead which was found on the paints he used. Performing Artists are plagued with poor nutrition issues and sleep depravation that affects not only their work but also their social relationships. The majority of performing artists suffer from overuse syndromes: symptom complexes defined as injuries caused by the cumulative effects on tissues of repetitive physical stress that exceeds physiologic limits. Women are more commonly affected than men. Immediately before the syndrome develops, increases in practice or work time, in the technical difficulties of the repertoire or equipment use, or in the levels of psychological stress are common. Use of new instruments or equipment, previous injury, or excessive joint mobility may be contributing factors.
- 10. What is Health? ■ Level of functional and metabolic efficiency of a living organism. ■ In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental, psychological and social changes with environment. ■ The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
- 11. Determinants of the Health of a Person ■ Income and social status ■ Social support networks ■ Education and literacy ■ Employment/working conditions ■ Social environments ■ Physical environments ■ Personal health practices and coping skills ■ Healthy child development ■ Biology and genetics ■ Health care services ■ Gender ■ Culture
- 12. Factors Affecting Human Health I. Intrinsic or internal factors Disease-causing factors found within the human body are called intrinsic factors. II. Extrinsic or external factors Disease causing factors coming from outside the human body are called extrinsic factors.
- 13. Intrinsic or Internal Factors ■ 1. Malfunctioning of body parts: Many diseases are caused due to improper functioning of body organs. For example, cardiac failure (heart attack) is caused by improper functioning of heart and short-sightedness, long-sightedness and cataract are caused due to improper functioning of eye. ■ 2. Hereditary diseases: Diseases, which are passed on from generation to generation, are called hereditary diseases. Haemophilia, a rare disease in which the patient’s blood doesn’t clot easily and sickle cell anaemia, a disease in which the patient’s red blood cells become sickle-shaped due to the presence of defective haemoglobin are hereditary diseases.
- 14. Intrinsic or Internal Factors 3. Hormonal diseases: Hormones control most of our body functions. A defect in the production or action of hormones can cause hormonal diseases. Diabetes is a disease caused due to the underproduction of insulin hormone by pancreas.Overproduction of growth hormone (GH) produced by pituitary leads to development of giants while its underproduction leads to development of dwarfs. 4. Allergy: Some people are sensitive to dust, pollen, certain drugs and foodstuffs and develop rashes on the skin or begin to sneeze.This type of hypersensitivity to certain substances is called allergy and can be prevented by avoiding contact with the allergy causing substance.
- 15. Extrinsic or External Factors 1. Nutritional disorders: Diseases caused by deficiency or excess of essential nutrients in diet are called nutritional disorders. Deficiency diseases like kwashiorkor, scurvy, rickets, goiter, anaemia, etc., are caused due to deficiency of essential nutrients in the body. 2. Infection by microorganisms: Micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa) enter the human body through contaminated food, water and air, through skin contact and insect-bites.
- 16. Extrinsic or External Factors ■ 3. Habit forming substances: Substances like alcohol, tobacco and narcotic drugs tend to make a person increasingly dependent on them. Hence, they are called habit-forming substances. Excessive intake of tobacco in the form of bidi, cigarette or cigar and direct chewing can lead to accumulation of tar in the nose, throat and lungs causing cough and irritation. Tobacco smokers also run a higher risk of heart attack. Alcohol is consumed in the form of wine, whiskey, beer, gin, etc.Alcohol affects the nervous system. It reduces the alertness of mind. It increases the time a person normally takes to respond or react to an emergency. (This time is called reaction time.) Excessive intake of alcohol can damage the liver. Opium and heroin are narcotic drugs.They are highly addictive and it is highly difficult to give them up. Narcotic drugs damage the nervous system and adversely affect vision, hearing respiratory system and heart. Excessive intake of narcotics may lead to heath. ■ 4. Environmental pollution: Dust, pollen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides pollute the environment.They cause headache, cough, allergies, lung disorders and bronchitis. Pesticides and chemical wastes from industries can cause damage to human health.
- 18. The Human Systems ■ A system of human body means a collective functional unit made by several organs in which the organs work in complete coordination with one another. ■ The 11 systems are: Skeletal System, Muscular System, Digestive System, Respiratory System, Circulatory System, Urinary System, Nervous System, Integumentary System, Reproductive system, Endocrine system and Lymphatic System An example how organs of a system are dependant on one another
- 19. Skeletal System Parts: Bones, Associated cartilages, Joints Function: Strength, Support, Shape, Protection, Leverage, Cell Production
- 20. Muscular System Parts: Muscles (Skeletal Muscles, Smooth mucles, Cardiac Muscles) Function: Motor power for movements of body parts.
- 21. Nervous System Parts: Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves, Nerve Endings Functions: Control and Coordination of all body functions (Nervous coordination)
- 22. Respiratory System Parts: Lungs, Nose,Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Alveolar sacs, Alveoli Function: Gaseous exchange
- 23. Digestive System Parts: Alimentary Canal (Oral Cavity, Esophagus, Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Anus), Liver, Pancreas, Salivary glands, Teeth,Tongue Function: Digestion and absorption of food
- 24. Cardiovascular System Components: Heart, Blood vessels (Arteries,Veins and Capillaries), Blood Function: Flow of blood (and nutrients) throughout body
- 25. Lymphatic System Parts: Lymph vessels, Central lymphoid tissue, Peripheral Lymphoid Organs, Lymphocytes Function: Drainage and Protection
- 26. Endocrine System Parts: Endocrine glands (Pituitary gland, Thyroid gland, Parathyroid glands, Adrenal glands, Pancreas (endocrine part),Testes (endocrine part), Ovary (endocrine part), Liver (endocrine part)) Function: Regulation of body functions (Chemical coordination)
- 27. Reproductive System Male: Parts: Penis,Testes Function: Formation of sperms and semen, and fertilizing the female Female: Parts: Uterus, Ovaries, Vulva, Labia, Clitoris Function: Formation of eggs and bearing the fetus during development
- 28. Urinary System Parts: Kidneys, Ureters, Urinary bladder, Urethra Function: Regulation of body’s internal environment, and production and excretion of urine
- 29. Integumentary System Parts: Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis, skin, nails Function: protects the body from various kinds of damage, such as loss of water or abrasion from outside.
- 30. Individual ResearchWork ■ VA: Look for Health Issues experienced by an actual painter or sculptor because of his materials or method. Give a profile of the artist with picture, his life’s work some key works and legacy to his discipline in art. Describe how the artist life or work was affected because of his health problem. Answer the Questions: As a Visual Artist what can I do to ensure my safety when I do my work? Is doing a work of art worth the risk of your own health? ■ PA: Look for an actual Actor or Musician or Singer or Director or Dancer that developed a sickness because of the work he has done. Give a profile of the artist with picture, his life’s work some key works and legacy to his discipline in art. Describe how the artist life or work was affected because of his health problem.

Editor's Notes
- #8: Vitruvian Man by Leonarda da Vinci
- #9: As an instrument, it should be taken care of properly, for it to perform properly and even to its best.
- #10: Systemic Poisoning The soluble salts of inorganic lead are also strong systemic poisons. They may accumulate within the body over a long period until toxic levels are reached and cell damage ensues. These salts were at one time commonly found in paints, and lead poisoning was frequently seen in children who chewed on their painted cribs or woodwork. In the brain, lead accumulation causes the degeneration of nerve cells. This produces such manifestations as mental depression, psychoses, convulsions, and even coma and death. If an early fatality does not occur, the lead is slowly excreted and complete recovery may be anticipated.
- #19: Organs cannot work alone because their are certain needs of every organ that need to be fulfilled and the organ itself cannot fulfill those needs. So all organs of human body need the support of other organs to perform their functions and in this way an organ system is formed.
