Welcome. My name is Devine. This is episode 50 2009 of the Devine

intervention podcasts. In today's podcast, we're going over the rapid review

series for the USMI- Step 2, CK, Step 3 exams is going to be Series 111.

So this podcast is going to be a little different.

I'm going to be focusing on quite a number of basic science things that are tested on the USMLEs.

I think one thing people are going to realize pretty quickly this year is that the USMI leads for the step to step three level.

Don't get me wrong, I do still going to be testing the clinical stuff.

Absolutely, that's going to be the bulk of the exams.

But there is going to be a big push for more step one related

content on step two and step three starting this year. Just going to keep that in

mind. Okay, maybe I'll talk about that in a future podcast, but one thing I think I want to hit with as a foundation before I start and I'll make integrations as I go along today is kind of talking about some of these

receptors I feel like it's something that people see from step one and they just

kind of it's gone forever no it's not really gone forever no it's gone forever. No, it's not really gone forever. No, it is important for step two and step three.

So I'll just try to make some integrations and review the high-yield receptors, right? I think it's just something that's always kind of helpful to know.

So what if they give you a question about a person that has nasal congestion?

Or they give you a question about a person that got anesthesia and the person's blood pressure dropped.

Or they give you a question about a person that has BPH.

What's the receptor that links all these ideas together? Easy, it's the Alpha One receptor.

The Alpha One receptor is a high-order receptor to one for purposes of step two and step three.

It's a receptor that we find in a few places.

One, we find it around the bladder neck.

So if you activate it, then you're not going to pee, but if you block it, then you're going to pee better.
