Step 1
1 of 2A single contraction of the heart produces a heartbeat. This heartbeat is described as a “lub-dubb” sound. This sound is produced as there is a delay in the contraction of the atria and the ventricles. The atria contract first and produce the “lub” sound. This is followed by the contraction of the ventricles which produces the “dubb” sound.
