Question

Identify what causes heart sounds

Expert Solution

Step 1

Heart sounds refer to the sounds produced by the heart while beating. These sounds are the result of the snap shut of valves of the heart. There are two distinct sounds produced by the heart that are S1 and S2, first and second heart sound respectively. The first sound is produced as the atrioventricular valves close, while the second sound is produced when semilunar valves close.
