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, represents the beginning of ventricular systole. The second heart sound, or "dub," marks the beginning of ventricular

diastole. It is produced by closure of the aortic and pulmonary (pulmonic) semilunar vanes when the intraventricular pressure begins to fall

In others words: It is the opening and closing of your heart valvues

Teacher will pass out paperwork for today’s activity
