Q

flow of blood through the heart

A

blood comes through inferior and superior vena cava to RIGHT atrium- tricuspid valve- RIGHT ventricle- pulmonic valve- pulmonary artery- none 02 blood exchanged for 02 blood-pulmonary veins- LEFT atrium- mitral valve- LEFT ventricle- aortic valve- Aorta- distributed through out body

Q

S1

A

closure of AV valves (mitral and tricuspid) heard during systole LUB-dub. occurs when ventricular pressure builds to the point of forcing AV valves closed and forcing open semilunar valves

Q

S2

A

closure of semi-lunar valves (pulmonary and aortic) heard during end of systole lub-DUB. occurs after ventricular ejection of blood dropping pressure in ventricles forcing semi-lunar valves to close

Q

s3

A

ken-tuc-KEY happens right after filling of ventricles. (after s2) results from changes in blood flow in diastole, when rapid filling ends and slow filling begins
