During cardiac cycle:    
1.    all the four chambers of heart can never be in a relaxed state simultaneously.
2.    as the tricuspid valve gets open, blood from the pulmonary artery flows into the right ventricle. 
3.    all the four chambers of heart can never be in a contracted state simultaneously.
4.    as the bicuspid valve gets open, blood from the aorta flows into the left ventricle.

During each cardiac cycle two prominent sounds are produced which can be easily heard through a stethoscope where:
I: The first heart sound (lub) is associated with the opening of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves.
II: The second heart sound (dub) is associated with the opening of the semilunar valves.
