Right after the S2 sound, the tricuspid and mitral valves open back up allowing blood to fill up the ventricles again and this period of time is called diastole.
For example, the right and left atria are both full of blood, and that blood moves through the tricuspid and the mitral valve to get down into the ventricles.
Making our way down, between the fourth and fifth rib, next to the left lower border of the sternum, is where you can best hear the tricuspid valve closing.
That being said, that contraction pumps the blood out the pulmonary valve, which just like the tricuspid valve has three cusps and also prevents blood from going backward.
When the ventricle is filled, it contracts, forcing the tricuspid valve to close and forcing the blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve on its way to the lungs.
That first heart sound, " lub" , is called S1, and the noise comes from the tricuspid and mitral valves snapping shut when the left and right ventricles contract, which happens at about the same time.
When the ventricles contract, blood in the right ventricle is forced through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery; at the same time, the tricuspid valve closes to prevent the backward flow of blood into the atrium.
