The first sound of the heart is made by the bi- and tri- cuspid valves closing once the ventricles fill up with blood. The sounds themselves are not due to the sound of the valves actually closing, though it is caused by the rapid deceleration of blood hitting the closed valves (i.e. mitral valve closes - blood from LA filling LV hits the valve & heart walls, decelerating, resulting in reverberation of the heart walls, thus giving the S1). The second sound is made by the pulmonary and aortic semi-lunar valves via the same processes as S1.

What makes the first sound of a heartbeat?

The first sound of a heartbeat is caused by the closing of the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid valves) in the heart and marks the beginning of ventricular systole, where the ventricles contract to pump blood. This sound is known as the "lub" sound of the heartbeat.


What happens during the first stage of a heartbeat?

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.

What makes the lub sound of our heartbeat?

The "lub" sound of our heartbeat, known as the first heart sound (S1), is primarily caused by the closure of the atrioventricular (AV) valves—the mitral and tricuspid valves—during ventricular contraction (systole). When the ventricles contract, blood is pumped out of the heart, and the sudden closure of these valves creates a distinct sound. This sound is essential for indicating that the heart is properly pumping blood and is part of the normal cardiac cycle.

What are terms for heart beats?

Pulse (pulse = to beat) or Complete Cardiac Cycle (beginning of one heartbeat until the beginning of the next) are two medical term for "heartbeat". Listen to your heartbeat and you might distinguish two sounds. The first sound is the closing of the upper atrioventicular valves. The second sound is the closing of the semilunar valves. This is the pushing of the blood out of the heart. Between beats, the heart is filling with blood and preparing for another push or pulse.
