What is olfaction
500

this heart sound is high pitched, dull in quality, and heard best at the apex

What is S1

The first heart sound (S1) represents closure of the atrioventricular (mitral and tricuspid) valves as the ventricular pressures exceed atrial pressures at the beginning of systole. S1 is normally a single sound because mitral and tricuspid valve closure occurs almost simultaneously.

What is clubbing
500
Device for measuring the arterial blood pressure that consists of an arm or leg cuff with an air bladder connected to a tube and a bulb for pumping air into the bladder and a gauge for indicating the amount of air pressure being exerted against the artery
