Answer the following questions.

1. The functions of the respiratory system include: (1) providing a gas exchange surface between the air
and the blood, (2) moving air to and from the gas exchange surfaces, (3) participate in the regulation of
blood pH, blood volume and blood pressure, (4) sound production, (5) defensive barrier against airborne
pathogens, and (6) protection of gas exchange surfaces from environmental changes.
2. The respiratory system is divided into two main components, the upper respiratory system (URS) and the
lower respiratory system (LRS). The URS is composed of the nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and
pharynx. The LRS is composed of the larynx, trachea, bronchial tree and lungs.
3. During the process of exhalation, the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases and the pressure within the
lungs increases above atmospheric pressure (positive pressure).
4. External respiration includes the processes involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
between the blood and interstitial fluid of the body and the environment.
5. Internal respiration, sometimes called cellular respiration, is the process whereby the oxygen in the
blood is utilized by the cells of the body.

 Read the following passage (1)
Psichotherapy

There are many different types of psychotherapy. They are all ways of helping people to overcome stress,
emotional problems, relationship problems or troublesome habits. What they have in common is that they are
all treatments based on talking to another person and sometimes doing things together. They are the “talking
treatments”. The person carrying out the treatment is usually called a therapist, the person being seen is
usually referred to as the client. There are very different types of treatment, such as: Psychodynamic
Psychotherapy, Behavioural Psychotherapy, Cognitive Psychotherapy, Family and Marital Therapy.
These are different treatments but they all help us to understand better how we work, which can help us to
make changes in our lives. Psychotherapists may use a combination of techniques to suit the individual and
people may progress from individual to group therapy, or marital work to individual treatment.
Psychotherapy usually involves regular meetings at the same time, same place every week or two weeks. In
most cases the length of the treatment will be agreed between the client(s) and the therapist(s) within a month
or so of starting. What happens during a session is usually considered confidential to the people in that
session.

 Read the following passage (2)
In individual psychotherapy one patient and one therapist talk together in a quiet room, usually for 50
minutes or so. In group therapy several people with similar sorts of problems meet regularly with a therapist
or therapists. These sessions may be longer than in individual psychotherapy. Group therapy may appear less
intimate, but it is not a cheap or second-rate treatment; in fact it is the best treatment for some problems. The
experience of discovering one is not alone and of being able to help other people is powerfully encouraging
and is often the first step towards getting better.
In marital therapy, a therapist or pair of therapist will meet with a married or committed couple so that they
can work on their problems jointly. In family therapy the whole family will be involved usually talking over
their difficulties with a pair of therapists.
But who practices psychotherapy? A psychotherapist may be a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental
health professional who has had further specialist training in psychotherapy. Increasingly there are a number
of psychotherapists who do not have a background as psychiatrists, psychologists or social workers, but who
have an in-depth training in psychotherapy.

Psicoterapia
Ci sono molti diversi tipi di psicoterapia. Sono tutti modi per aiutare le persone a superare lo stress, problemi
emotivi, problemi di relazione o di abitudini fastidiose. Quello che hanno in comune è che sono tutti
trattamenti basati col parlare con un'altra persona e, a volte fare delle cose insieme. Sono i “talking
treatments". La persona che esegue il trattamento è di solito chiamata terapeuta, la persona che viene vista è
solitamente indicata come cliente. Ci sono diversi tipi di trattamento, come ad esempio: psicoterapia
psicodinamica, psicoterapia comportamentale, psicoterapia cognitiva, terapia famigliare e di coppia.

Questi sono trattamenti diversi ma tutti ci aiutano a capire meglio il modo in cui lavoriamo, che possono
aiutarci a fare dei cambiamenti nella nostra vita. Psicoterapeuti possono utilizzare una combinazione di
tecniche per soddisfare l'individuo e le persone possono progredire da individuale a terapia di gruppo, o da
matrimoniale a terapia individuale. La psicoterapia di solito comporta incontri regolari allo stesso orario,
nello stesso posto ogni settimana o due settimane. Nella maggior parte dei casi sarà concordata la lunghezza
del trattamento tra il cliente (i) e il terapeuta (i) entro un mese o così l’inizio. Quello che succede durante una
sessione è di solito considerato riservato alle persone in quella seduta.

Nella psicoterapia individuale un paziente e un terapeuta parlano insieme in una stanza tranquilla, di solito
per 50 minuti o giù di lì. Nella terapia di gruppo diverse persone con problemi simili si incontrano
regolarmente con un terapeuta o terapeuti. Queste sedute possono essere più lunghe che nella psicoterapia
individuale. La terapia di gruppo può apparire meno intima, ma non è un trattamento a basso costo o di
seconda categoria; in realtà è il miglior trattamento per alcuni problemi. L'esperienza di scoprirsi non solo e
di essere in grado di aiutare gli altri è potente incoraggiante ed è spesso il primo passo verso il meglio.

In terapia di coppia, un terapista o un paio di terapisti si incontreranno con una coppia sposata o impegnata in
modo che possano lavorare sui loro problemi congiuntamente. Nella terapia familiare l'intera famiglia sarà
coinvolta solitamente per parlare delle loro difficoltà con un paio di terapisti. Ma chi pratica la psicoterapia?
Uno psicoterapista può essere uno psichiatra, psicologo o altro professionista della salute mentale che ha
avuto un'ulteriore formazione specialistica in psicoterapia. Sempre più spesso ci sono un certo numero di
psicoterapisti che non hanno studi come psichiatri, psicologi o assistenti sociali, ma che hanno una
formazione approfondita in psicoterapia.
