Sounds also accompany the heart's action. If the ear be applied over the region of the heart, two distinct sounds will be heard following one another with perfect regularity. Their character may be tolerably imitated by pronouncing the syllables lubb, dup. One sound is heard immediately after the other, then there is a pause, then come the two sounds again.
The short sound follows quickly after the dull sound and the two are fairly imitated by the words "lūbb, dŭp." While the cause of the first sound is not fully understood, most authorities believe it to be due to the contraction of the heart muscle and the sudden tension on the valve flaps. The second sound is due to the closing of the semilunar valves.

"Your's. Oh! you will so lubb it." "Mine? you detestable impostor, I never had such a thing in all my life." "And here it is oh, dee pretty dear!"
