Why does the heart of a person beat?

The heart of a human, or any creature with a heart, does not literally beat. The beating noise or movement of your heart you can feel especially when you have just done physical activity, is the valves slumming shut in sequence. The first sound is the sound of the atrioventricular valve closing at the beginning of ventricular contraction; the second is the sound of the pulmonary and aortic valves shutting at the end of ventricular contraction.
