Answer 1

Components are parts of something.

I don't know what your text materials say -- but this may help.

Health communication includes:
* patient-doctor communication, especially about the patient's symptoms
* doctor-patient communication, especially about the diagnosis and possible treatment options
* doctor-family communication when the patient is a child or mentally impaired or elderly
* doctor-insurance company communication
