Which valves are open during this process?

At the end of ventricular systole, the ventricles relax; the semilunar valves snap shut, preventing backflow, and momentary, the ventricles are closed chambers. The aortic semilunar valves snaps shut, a momentary increase in the aortic pressure results from the elastic recoil of the aorta after valves closure.


The heart sounds or lubb dubb are created when the valves of the heart snap shut true or false?

What makes the sound of your heartbeat?

What happens to A V valves during ventricular contraction?

As the ventricles of the heart contract the pressure in the ventricles rises beyond that of the atria. This pressure differential causes the AV valves to shut.


What are you hearing when your heart beats?

The bicuspid, tricuspid and semilunar valves snapping shut to prevent blood flowing backwards. Bicuspid and tricuspid valves produce the "lub" sound and the semilunar valves produce the "dub" sound.


Why do hearts valves close?

To prevent back flow of blood. Also, the valves alternate when they are opened and closed, such that at certain times, your valves could be shut to allow blood to fill a certain chamber of the heart. This makes it so your heart can pump more blood, since the blood filling causes stretching of the heart wall, which increases the force on blood when it is propelled from the heart. For example, when the heart is beating very fast, there isn't enough time allowed for filling, so the force on the blood isn't as high as it could be.


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.

The lub or first heart sound is produced by the closing of?

there are 2 sounds the heart makes. "lub-dub" the first ("lub") is when the atrioventricular valves sclose the second ("dub") is when the semilunar valves close
