The first heart sound "lubb" is produced by the closure of the:

Answer: atrioventricular valves.

  • A atrioventricular valves
  • B the semilunar heart valves
  • C the main aorta wall
  • D the vena cava vein

Correct answer: A. atrioventricular valves

Explanation: "Lubb" is caused by the atrioventricular (bicuspid and tricuspid) valves closing.

ECG: The Three Key WavesP wave(atrial depol.)QRS complex(ventricular depol.)T wave(ventricular repol.)QRS is the tallest spike - ventricles have far more muscle mass than the atria

A single ECG cycle: the P wave marks atrial depolarisation (contraction signal), the large QRS complex marks ventricular depolarisation, and the T wave marks ventricular repolarisation (recovery) before the next cycle begins.

Concept context

Blood, lymph, the heart, the cardiac cycle, blood pressure, and ECG. High NEET weightage.
