  2. Heart sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_sounds

    The third heart sound, or S 3 is rarely heard, and is also called a protodiastolic gallop, ventricular gallop, or informally the "Kentucky" gallop as an onomatopoeic reference to the rhythm and stress of S1 followed by S2 and S3 together (S1=Ken; S2=tuck; S3=y). [2] "lub-dub-ta" or "slosh-ing-in" If new, indicates heart failure or volume overload.

  3. Primary somatosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_somatosensory_cortex

    Brodmann areas 3, 1, and 2 make up the primary somatosensory cortex of the human brain (or S1). [2] Because Brodmann sliced the brain somewhat obliquely, he encountered area 1 first; however, from anterior to posterior , the Brodmann designations are 3, 1, and 2, respectively.

  4. Phonocardiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonocardiogram

    Heart sounds result from vibrations created by the closure of the heart valves. There are at least two; the first (S1) is produced when the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral) close at the beginning of systole and the second (S2) when the aortic valve and pulmonary valve (semilunar valves) close at the end of systole. [4]

  5. Secondary somatosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_somatosensory_cortex

    An area at the entrance to the lateral sulcus, adjoining the primary somatosensory cortex (S1), is called the parietal ventral (PV) area. Posterior to PV is the secondary somatosensory area (area S2, which must not be confused with "region S2" which designates the entire secondary somatosensory cortex, of which area S2 is a part).

  6. Gallop rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallop_rhythm

    The normal heart rhythm contains two audible heart sounds called S 1 and S 2 that give the well-known "lub-dub" rhythm; they are caused by the closing of valves in the heart. The first heart sound (S1) is closure of the valve at the end of ventricular filling (the tricuspid and mitral valves); the second heart sound (S2), is closure of the ...

  7. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    In a healthy heart, there are only two audible heart sounds, called S1 and S2. The first heart sound S1, is the sound created by the closing of the atrioventricular valves during ventricular contraction and is normally described as "lub". The second heart sound, S2, is the sound of the semilunar valves closing during ventricular diastole and is ...

  8. Somatosensory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_system

    Parietal ventral area is the somatosensory relay to the premotor cortex and somatosensory memory hub, BA5. BA5 is the topographically organized somato memory field and association area. BA1 processes texture info while BA2 processes size and shape information. Area S2 processes light touch, pain, visceral sensation, and tactile attention. S1 ...
