Study Notes

First Heart Sound (S1)

The main cause of the first heart sound is the closure of the atrioventricular (AV) valves, which include the mitral and tricuspid valves.
The first heart sound is associated with the beginning of ventricular contraction (systole), marking the start of the heart's pumping action.
The vibration of blood and the walls of the ventricles results from rapid changes in blood flow and pressure when the AV valves close, creating turbulence that generates sound.

Second Heart Sound (S2)

The second heart sound is associated with the closure of the semilunar valves, specifically the aortic and pulmonary valves, occurring at the end of ventricular contraction (diastole).
The second heart sound is caused by the abrupt decrease in blood flow as the semilunar valves close, leading to vibrations from the blood and heart structures that produce the characteristic sound.
