Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. closing

2. the ventricles and arteries,

3. a constricted trachea

Lub is the first sound of a heartbeat and is mentioned as S1. It is usually produced due to the closing of tricuspid and and mitral or bicuspid valves present between atria and ventricles.

Tricupsid is located between atrium and ventricle of the right hand side and mitral valve is located between atrium and ventricle of the left hand side. They prevent the back flow of blood from ventricles to their respective atria.

Dub, being the second sound is written as S2. It is produced due to the closing of pulmonary (located between right ventricle and pulmonary artery) and aortic valves (located between left artery and aorta).

These valves prevent the back flow of blood from arteries into the ventricles.

The time between the two sounds is often taken as the measure of the diastole i.e. ventricular filling.

Wheezing refers to a high-pitched sound produced when a person breathes, especially during exhale. It is caused by constriction of the airways or inflammation. It is considered as a symptom of various diseases such as asthma, COPD, allergies, bronchitis etc.

Who is Taylor swift in real life rude mean nice help
Iteru [2.4K]
When Taylor swift was receiving her music award and Kanye West interrupted her right before she made her speech, she didn't attack him, push or yell at him. Taylor didn't make a scene or react. Most people would have. I think this tells us about her character. It appears that she is kind, not impulsive and overall a classy lady. Even afterwards, she didn't bad mouth or go on a social media to blast against Kanye on the Internet. This demonstrates that Taylor is strong and has thick skin.

A  cell is the smallest unit of life, it is the basic membrane-bound unit that contains the fundamental molecules of life and of which all living things are composed.
