What can be a condition where the AV valves don't close?
a heart murmur
Which part of the heart makes the heartbeat sound?
A heartbeat produces the familiar "LUB-DUP" sounds as the chambers contract and the valves close. The first heart sound, "lub," is heard when the ventricles contract and the atrioventricular valves close. This sound last longest and has a lower pitch. The second heart sound, "dub," is heard when the relaxation of the ventricles allows the semilunar valves to close.
Why do the hearts valve close?
In a 4-chambered heart animal, the valves on the heart close to prevent back-flow from the ventricle into the atrium. In this way, the valves assure that the heart propels the blood forward with sufficient pressure and volume to reach all regions of the body.
What returns blood to heart?
The veins return blood from the body back to the heart, then out of the heart to the lungs where it is oxygenated, then back to the heart and carried back out into the body by arteries. The blood in the veins is blue but is seen through you skin as a dark green.
What causes the valves to open and close during the heart cycle?
By minute electrical singles produced by the heart itself to open and close the valves.

What is the difference in heart sounds?
lub dub lub is when the av valves close and dub is when the semi lunar valves close
What can be a condition where the AV valves don't close?
a heart murmur
What causes the heart murmur?
Some murmurs are caused by heart valves that do not close completely.
What does the word lub-dupp mean?
It refers to the sound the heart makes, heard through the stethescope. lub (S1) is made when the atrioventricular valves in the heart close. dupp (S2) is made when the semilunar valves in the heart close.
What the function of valves?
Valves prevent blood from going backward.Valves in general open to allow or close to prevent liquid flow. Heart valves opens to let blood into the heart then close to keep it there so that when the heart muscle contracts and squeezes the blood it is then forced out into the arteries of the body.
Why does the heart need valves?
The reason why we need we need valves in our heart is because the valves in our heart will open and close. When the valves in our heart open, they allow blood to go into places in our body where blood is needed. When the blood passes through, the valve closes. They regulate the blood flow.
Do the heart valves open and close due to pressure or volume?
yes
Why does the human heart need valves?
The reason why we need we need valves in our heart is because the valves in our heart will open and close. When the valves in our heart open, they allow blood to go into places in our body where blood is needed. When the blood passes through, the valve closes. They regulate the blood flow.
How mechanical heart valve?
A mechanical heart valve is a synthetic device implanted in the heart to replace or repair damaged heart valves, ensuring proper blood flow. Made from durable materials like titanium or carbon, these valves are designed to last a lifetime but require patients to take anticoagulant medications to prevent blood clots. They open and close with each heartbeat, mimicking the natural function of heart valves. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are essential for patients with mechanical valves.
