The sounds LUB and DUB (also dup) are used to indicate a human heartbeat, with the LUB sound made by the closing of atrioventricular valves, and the DUB by the closing of the exterior or semilunar valves (aortic valves and pulmonary valve).

What produces the heart sounds as heard with a stethocope?

The closing of the mitral and tricuspid valves produces the S1 sound, followed by the closing of the aortic and pulmonic valves, which produce the S2 sound. In sequence, it sounds like "lub-DUB, lub-DUB, lub-DUB".


What causes the lub-dub sound of your heartbeat?

The 'lub' is the S1 sound. It occurs due to normal closure of the mitral and tricuspid (atrioventricular) valves. With these valves closed, systole commences and blood is actively squeezed from the ventricles. The second sound is the 'dub' or S2 sound. It occurs as the aortic (to LV) and pulmonary (to RV) valves close to prevent backflow from the blood ejected from the ventricles and marks the beginning of diastole (or filling) of the heart.


The monosyllables describing the heart sounds are?
