What is the difference between lub and dub?

It means "atrioventricular". It refers to the valves between the atria and the ventricles.
How can you distinguish between an atrioventicular valve and a semivunar valve in the heart?

What is the difference in heart sounds?

How is the heart created?
Heart sounds are created by the relationship between the valves of the heart and the surface of the thorax.

What is the difference between an artery and a vein and what do they do?

What is a heart's lub-dub?
They are the representation of the heart's sounds, one made by interior valves closing and one by the exterior valves at the exit of the ventricles.Lub: Valves closing between atria and ventricles.Dub: Aortic and pulmonary valves closing (semilunar valves).
What is the difference between smart valve and other gas valves?
