You have been called upon to demonstrate the technique for listening to valve sounds.a. Explain where you would position your stethoscope to auscultate (1) the aortic valve of a patient with severe aortic valve insufficiency and (2) a stenotic mitral valve.b. During which period(s) would you hear these abnormal valve sounds most clearly? (During atrial diastole, ventricular systole, ventricular diastole, or atrial systole?)c. What cues would you use to differentiate between an insufficient and a stenotic valve?

Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.

a. Systole is the contraction portion of the cardiac cycle and diastole is the relaxation portion.

Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.

b. Atrial systole is responsible for ejecting most of the blood into the ventricles during the ventricular filling phase of the cardiac cycle.

Which chamber generates the highest pressure during systole?

a. Right atrium

b. Right ventricle

c. Left atrium

d. Left ventricle
