Heart Sounds
S1 sound is due to what valves closing?
Atrioventricular valves (AV valves)
S2 sound is due to what valves closing?
Semi-lunar valvess
How is the AV valves closed?
By ventricular contraction
How is the semi-lunar valves closed?
By ventricular relaxation
An abnormal heart sound
murmur
What is another term for back flow in the heart?
Regurgitation
Atrial regurgitation can be heard after which sound, S1 or S2?
S1 - atrial regurgitation occurs when an AV valve does not close correctly
Ventricular regurgitation can be heard after which sound, S1 or S2?
S2 - ventricular regurgitation occurs when the semi-lunar valve does not close correctly
