The document discusses heart sounds, including the four main types: S1, S2, S3, and S4. S1 and S2 are normally heard with each heartbeat while S3 and S4 may sometimes be heard. S1 occurs with the closure of the atrioventricular valves at the beginning of systole. S2 occurs with the closure of the semilunar valves at the end of systole. S3 occurs during early ventricular filling and S4 occurs during atrial contraction just before S1 of the next cycle. The sounds are associated with different parts of the cardiac cycle and changes in sounds can provide information about cardiac function and health issues.
