Semilunar (SL) valves - ✔ANASWER✔-between ventricles
and arteries
3 cusps that look like half moons
heard at BASE, located at TOP of heart


Right side of the heart pumps to... - ✔ANASWER✔-Lungs

,Left side of heart pumps... - ✔ANASWER✔-
simutaneously to body


Septum - ✔ANASWER✔-wall that separates two pumps


atrioventricular valves - ✔ANASWER✔-separate atria and
ventricles
heard at apex, located at bottom of heart: 5th rib
intercostal space


Apical pulse is also called - ✔ANASWER✔-Mitral
area/PM/Apex


Right AV valve = - ✔ANASWER✔-tricuspid valve, 5th
intercostal space at left sternal border


Left AV valve = - ✔ANASWER✔-Mitral valve, 5th
intercostal space at left midclavicular line

,pulmonic valve - ✔ANASWER✔-located on right side of
heart, 2nd L intercostal space


aortic valve - ✔ANASWER✔-located on left side of heart,
2nd R intercostal space


Diastole phase - ✔ANASWER✔-ventricles relax, heart fills
with blood
2/3 of cycle
AV valves (tricuspid and mitral) are OPEN
pressure in atria is higher than in ventricles.
1st filling phase is called early or protodiastolic filling.
2nd filling is called presystole or atrial systole


Systole phase - ✔ANASWER✔-blood pumped from
ventricles and fills pulmonary and systemic arteries
1/3 of cardiac cycle
ventricular pressure is now HIGHER than that of atria,
causing atria to close. After blood ejection, pressure falls
in ventricles. When pressure falls below pressure in

, aorta, some blood flows backward towards ventricle,
causing aortic valve to shut.


S1 or Lub - ✔ANASWER✔-closer of AV valve


S2 or Dub - ✔ANASWER✔-closure of semilunar valve


S3 heart sound - ✔ANASWER✔-↑ventricular filling
pressure (e.g., mitral regurgitation, HF), common in
dilated ventricles. VIBRATIONS heard over chest. A
gallop.
Occurs immediately after S2 (LUB DUB DUB). May be
early sign of heart failure.


S4 heart sound - ✔ANASWER✔-occurs at end of Diastole,
at presystole. HEARD BEST AT APEX w/ pt turned to LEFT
LATERAL so heart is closer to chest wall. VIBRATION is
very soft and low pitch. Occurs jsut before S1 (DUB LUB
DUB)
