- Heart Sounds. Heart sounds are generated by the turbulance created by blood flowing through the heart, specifically when the heart valves close. Normal heart sounds can be characterized by a lub dub that occurs with a heart beat. The first heart sound (lub) occurs when the atrioventricular (AV) valves close and the second heart sound (dub) is heard when the semilunar valves close.

Heart sounds In healthy adults, there are two normal heart sounds often described as a lub and a dub (or dup), that occur in sequence with each heartbeat. These are the first heart sound (S 1) and second heart sound (S 2), produced by the closing of the AV valves and semilunar valves, respectively.

Cardiovascular centre (December 2009). The cardiovascular centre is a part of the human brain responsible for the regulation of the rate at which the heart beats through the nervous and endocrine systems.t is found in the medulla. Normally, the heart beats without nervous control, but in some situations (e.g., exercise, body trauma), the cardiovascular centre is responsible for altering the rate at which the heart beats. It also mediates respiratory sinus arrhythmia.

About Arrhythmia Electrical signals control the pump. The heart beat (contraction) begins when an electrical impulse from the sinoatrial node (also called the SA node or sinus node) moves through it. The SA node is sometimes referred to as the heart's natural pacemaker because it initiates impulses for the heartbeat.

Heart Normal heart sounds as heard with a stethoscope. The heart is a muscular organ in humans and other animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assists in the removal of metabolic wastes. In humans, the heart is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest.

Heartbeat A heartbeat is a two-part pumping action that takes about a second. As blood collects in the upper chambers (the right and left atria), the heart's natural pacemaker (the SA node) sends out an electrical signal that causes the atria to contract.

Mitral valve The closing of the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve constitutes the first heart sound (S1), which can be heard with a stethoscope. It is not the valve closure itself which produces the sound but the sudden cessation of blood flow, when the mitral and tricuspid valves close.

- To detect heart sounds, the patient should be lying down and examined in a quiet room. Left-sided S3 is best heard at the apex of the heart (the lower pointed end of the heart) with the patient lying on his left side. It is a low-pitched sound and heard best using the bell of the stethoscope with light pressure.

Anatomy of the Heart: Valves The audible sounds that can be heard from the heart are made by the closing of the heart valves. These sounds are referred to as the lub-dupp sounds. The lub sound is made by the contraction of the ventricles and the closing of the atrioventricular valves. The dupp sound is made by the semilunar valves closing.

- 1 The heart's internal pacemaker regulates and times the beating of the heart via electrical signals.  Electrical signals start at the SA node, causing atria contraction, and then move on to AV node, delaying electrical impulses to allow blood from the atrium to fill the ventricles.

"Why our heart beat sounds like ""LUB"" and ""DUB"". What does it mean?"   The first heart sound or lub results from closure of the tricuspid and mitral valves. It is a rather low-pitched and a relatively long sound which, as indicated in, re … presents the beginning of ventricular systole.   The second heart sound, or dub, marks the beginning of ventricular diastole.

- When your heart beats, it makes a lub-DUB sound. Between the time you hear lub and DUB, blood is pumped through your heart and circulatory system. A heartbeat may seem like a simple, repeated event. However, it's a complex series of very precise and coordinated events.

- The sounds heard which are caused by rapid entry of blood (S3 & S4) are often only present in conditions of altered chamber morphology such as hypertrophy. Murmurs are abnormal heart sounds made by blood passing improperly through a valve due to its incomplete closing (regurgitation) or incomplete opening (stenosis).

How the Heart Works How the Heart Works. The heart is responsible for circulating blood throughout the body. It is about the size of your clenched fist and sits in the chest cavity between your two lungs. Its walls are made up of muscle that can squeeze or pump blood out every time the heart beats or contracts.

Heart sounds Heart sounds are the noises generated by the beating heart and the resultant flow of blood through it. Specifically, the sounds reflect the turbulence created when the heart valves snap shut. In cardiac auscultation, an examiner may use a stethoscope to listen for these unique and distinct sounds that provide important auditory data regarding the condition of the heart. In healthy adults, there are two normal heart sounds often described as a lub and a dub, that occur in sequence with each heart

heart sounds heart sounds. first HS caused by atrioventricular valve closure (occurs with ventricular systole). second HS caused by semilunar valve closure (signifies beginning of diastole). third HS corresponds to ventricular filling (occurs early in diastole). fourth HS corresponds to atrial contraction (occurs late in diastole).

- Your doctor listens to your heartbeat with the aid of a stethoscope. The opening and closing of your valves make a lub dub noise known as heart sounds. The doctor can evaluate your heart and valve function and hear your heart's rate and rhythm by listening to your heart sounds.

- Hearing a heartbeat in your ears can indicate a hardening of the blood vessels in the neck. In this video, Dave Salley, MD, an ear, nose and throat specialist at Chippenham & Johnston-Willis Hospitals, discusses what other noises you might hear, and what they mean.

Heart The heart is able to both set its own rhythm and to conduct the signals necessary to maintain and coordinate this rhythm throughout its structures. About 1% of the cardiac muscle cells in the heart are responsible for forming the conduction system that sets the pace for the rest of the cardiac muscle cells.

- These are: Aortic area, Pulmonic area, Tricuspid area, Mitral Area (Apex). A common notation for a sound heard at an auscultatory site is to use the first initial of the site and the number 1 or 2 to describe the first or second heart sound respectively. Thus T1 denotes the first heart sound at the tricuspid area; M2 denotes the second sound at the mitral area, etc. In general both the first and second sounds can be heard at all sites, but some pathologic and normal sounds are heard best at one site or another.

- S1 and S2 sounds. The two major sounds of the normal heart sound like lub dub. The lub is the first heart sound, commonly termed S1, and is caused by turbulence caused by the closure of mitral and tricuspid valves at the start of systole. The second heart sound, dub or S2, is caused by the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves, marking the end of systole.

Chapter 16 Heart sound created by the closure of the AV valves to the ventricular walls. Heart sound created by the closure of the semilunar valves at the beginning of ventricular relaxation. Exit valve that only sees oxygenated blood. Valve that prevents the backflow of blood into the left ventricle. Semilunar valve through which blood leaves the left ventricle.

What makes the heart beat? The atria and ventricles work together, alternately contracting and relaxing to pump blood through your heart. The electrical system of the heart is the power source that makes this possible. Your heartbeat is triggered by electrical impulses that travel down a special pathway through the heart.

- During diastole there are 2 sounds of ventricular filling: The first is from the atrial walls and the second is from the contraction of the atriums. The third heart sound is caused by vibration of the ventricular walls, resulting from the first rapid filling so it is heard just after S2. The third heart sound is low in frequency and intensity.
