2. The atrio-ventricular node (AVN) generates an action potential to stimulate atrial contraction.

Doctors use a stethoscope to hear the sounds produced during each cardiac cycle. The second sound is heard when:

1. AV valves open up
2. Ventricular walls vibrate due to the gushing of blood from the atria
3. Semi-lunar valves close down after the blood flows into vessels from the ventricles
4. AV node receives a signal from SA node
