Korotkoff's sounds

    0.01 sec.
Korotkoff's sounds
sounds heard during auscultatory determination of blood pressure in humans, thought to be produced by vibratory motion of the arterial wall as the artery suddenly distends when compressed by a pneumatic blood pressure cuff. Origin of the sound may be within the blood passing through the vessel or within the wall itself.
