[00:00:00]video, we'll cover the important facts about Arb so you'll be ready come test day.

[00:00:05]I'm the manager here at Arby's. You know, the fast food restaurant famous for its roast beef sandwiches. Before I get too ahead of myself, use Arby's to serve as your memory anchor to the drug class ARBs. After all, Arby's and ARBs sound almost exactly alike. While we're here, let's talk about the long name of ARBs, which also happens to be the mechanism for how these drugs work in the body. To make this easier, we've clustered the drug names and the mechanism in the foreground of this scene. As the manager, I oversee all the employees here at Arby's. It's part of their job to package up the toys for the kids meals, including these figurines of two angels pulling on a rope. You could even call this an angel tension figurine since the two angels are creating tension by pulling on the rope. This angel tension figurine is our symbol for angotensin. And the way that there are two angels in this figurine can help you remember that in this video we're specifically talking about angotensin 2.

[00:00:59]One of these employees messed up the figurine packaging. You see, the angels are supposed to fit perfectly into this receptacle. Let's call this box the angel tension receptacle, but the receptacle is blocked by another toy.

[00:01:12]We'll talk more about this other figurine in a minute, but for now, focus on the angel tension receptacle that is blocked. This angel tension receptacle being blocked should help you remember angotensin 2 receptor blockers. The long name for the abbreviation arbs.
