Which valves produce the second heart sound when they snap shut?
a) tricuspid and pulmonary valves
b) mitral and tricuspid valves
c) aortic and mitral valves
d) pulmonary and aortic valves

D) Pulmonary and aortic valves.

Explanation
There are two main heartbeats from a healthy heart.

The first beat is called the S1 or the lub, and it occurs when the atrioventricular valves (comprising the mitral and tricuspid valves) close.

The second beat is called the S2 or the dub, and it occurs when the semilunar valves (comprising the aortic and pulmonary valves) close.

Listening for heart beats is an essential part of cardiac auscultation.
