how are korotkoff sounds different from the "lub" "dub" sounds? course hero

Korotkoff sounds are heard at the point where the systolic pressure exceeds the cuff pressure, and blood passes in turbulent flow through the partially constricted artery while 'lub' and 'dub' that are due to vibrations inside the ventricles that are associated with the sudden shut of the valves.

What is the Korotkoff sound?

Korotkoff sounds are used to measure the blood pressure (the lateral pressure exerted on the walls of a blood vessel,mostly an artery caused by the flowing blood) of an individual.These sounds are not produced without the application of a blood pressure measuring instrument called a sphygmomanometer.

What is the first appearance of faint, repetitive, clear tapping sounds which gradually increase in intensity for at least two consecutive beat?

Phase I —The first appearance of faint, repetitive, clear tapping sounds which gradually increase in intensity for at least two consecutive beats is the systolic blood pressure.

How does sound healing work?

Sound healing relates to healing with the sound vibrations, though when we understand from Naad Yoga perspective, it means healing with vibrations which may or may not be struck. At a physical layer, the sound vibrations travel about 5 times faster in water (and the body is 70 to 80% water enabling the sound to travel faster in the body). These vibrations impact the body (cells, etc) and through that aims to restore homeostasis. The result - could be reduced pain, increased secretions (our experience with the use of bhramari or singing bowl sound has demonstrated reduction in salivary problems aka xerostomia for Oral Cancer Survivors !). It is very common to see reduction in symptoms of back pain or muscular pain after using the singing bowls sound vibrations. At the energy or mind layer, the vibrations calm the mind and the energy of these vibrations also impact the overall energy (or prana) of the human body.

What is the difference between a laminar and turbulent blood flow?

It is the velocity of blood flow till it remains laminar.Once the velocity of blood flow goes beyond critical velocity ,it becomes turbulent blood flow.

What phase of the symphony is the point at which all sounds disappear completely?

Phase V —The point at which all sounds finally disappear completely is the diastolic pressure.

What is phase 3 in music?

Phase III—The return of sharper sounds, which become crisper to regain, or even exceed, the intensity of phase I sounds.

Can you experiment with just a little?

Experimenting ‘just a little’ can have grave consequences. Most assuredly, it will have ‘some’ consequences.
