The lub sound of the heartbeat (S1) is mainly produced by the closure of the:

  • A Valves present within the vena cava
  • B Semilunar valves at the start of diastole
  • C Tricuspid and bicuspid (atrioventricular) valves
  • D Walls of the pulmonary artery during systole

Correct answer: C. Tricuspid and bicuspid (atrioventricular) valves

Explanation: The first heart sound (lub) results from the closure of the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and bicuspid) at the start of ventricular systole.

Concept context

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