The Heartbeat, the first sound you ever heard...

click on the video below to observe a beating heart

The next video gives a simple and  clear explanation of the chambers, valves and heart sounds






This next video below shows how the atria and ventricles contract in relation to the valve sounds:



Finally, an excellent view from above showing how the systole and diastole synchronize together.  The letters stand for valves:  M is mitral, T is tricuspid, A is Aortic and P is pulmonary.  where you see the word "squirt", it indicates ventricular contraction.  Where you see "fill" is the atrial contraction.
