Question

When listening to the heart, the "lub" is the __________ valves snapping shut and the "dup" sound occurs when the __________ valves close at the end of systole?

Answer 1

atrioventricular , semilunar  - When listening to the heart,  the examiner listens for the unique lup-dup sounds of the heart to understand if the heart is healthy. These sounds are generated when the heart beats to allow blood to  flow throughout the body. The sound is basically created each time  the heart valves snap shut. The "lub" is the atrioventricular valves snapping shut and the "dup" sound occurs when the semilunar valves close at the end of systole.
