close

S1ventricular contraction raises the pressure in the ventricles and forces the
mitral and tricuspid valves closed, preventing back flow into the atriaThis
valve closure: S1
◍ S2.
Answer: CLOSURE OF THE AORTIC AND PULMONIC VALVE:
S2When the ventricles are almost empty, the pressure in the ventricles falls
below that in the aorta and pulmonary artery closure of these valves causes
the second heart sound: S2
