Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of the AV valves closing during ventricular contraction?

  • To allow blood to flow from the ventricles into the atria
  • To decrease blood pressure in the aorta
  • To prevent blood from flowing back into the atria (correct)
  • To increase blood pressure in the pulmonary artery
  • During which part of the cardiac cycle do the semilunar valves close?

  • During atrial contraction and systole
  • During ventricular relaxation and diastole (correct)
  • During ventricular contraction and systole
  • During atrial relaxation and diastole

    Study Notes

    Heart Sounds

    • The lub-dub sounds heard during auscultation of the heart are caused by the valves snapping shut.
    • "Lub" (S1) is the sound of the AV valves closing during ventricular contraction, at the beginning of systole.
    • This prevents blood from flowing back into the atria from the ventricles.

    Valve Closures

    • AV valves close during ventricular contraction, at the beginning of systole.
    • Semilunar valves close during relaxation of ventricles, at the end of systole and beginning of diastole.
    • This prevents blood from flowing back into the ventricles from the pulmonary artery and aorta.

    Cardiac Cycle

    • Ventricular contraction occurs at the beginning of systole.
    • Relaxation of ventricles occurs at the end of systole and beginning of diastole.
