When your heart pounds what is making the sound come from your heart?

The sound coming from your heart is the sound of the valves in the heart closing and the turbulence in the blood that results. In a normal healthy adult the first sound (or lub) is from the closing of the AV valve and the second sound (or dub) is from the closing of the semilunar valve.

How does the circulatory system do its job?

You have things called arteries that carry the blood full of oxygen throughout your body. Right below your jaw you can feel your pulse. This is one of your arteries pumping blood to your brain. Once the blood has used up all of its oxygen, it is pumped back to your heart through your veins to receive more oxygen.


Where does the pushing force come from to push the blood out the heart?

The heart has two pumps inside of it and each has two chambers and two valves. The left side of the heart has the biggest chambers, and the one that pumps the blood to your body is called the left ventricle, When it contracts (squeezes together), the first valve closes shut (that's the "lupp" sound of a heart beat) and the contraction pushes the blood up past the second valve and into aorta, which is the main artery that distributes the blood to the regular arteries that carry the blood throughout the body. When the blood goes into the aorta, the second valve shuts so the blood doesn't go backwards into the heart and that is the "dubb" sound of a heart beat.


Are there valves in your heart?

Very poorly. Let's consider the left side of the heart which pumps blood into the aorta, the main artery leading from the heart. At the peak of a contraction (squeeze) of the heart it pumps blood into the aorta. The aorta is very elastic and expands as the squeeze of the heart pushes blood into it. Some of the blood, of course, continues on, and under normal circumstances, the aortic valve then closes, and as the heart fills with blood for the next squeeze, the elasticity of the aorta shrinks the aorta and pumps more blood into the body. If the valve is damaged (or, in your question, absent) then as the aorta's elasticity shrinks it, the blood would be forced back into the heart, not letting new blood come in to be pumped out on the next contraction. Thus the pumping would become very inefficient. It is exactly because of damage like this (aortic insufficiency) that the valve sometimes has to be replaced.
