the various sounds that are heard while taking blood pressure

Korotkoff Sounds or, K-sounds, are operated during the measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressures when the cuff pressure is at a certain level. The cause of the K-sounds is still debated, but they are believed to be caused by blood jetting through the partly blocked or closed artery when the cuff is inflated. They resemble tapping noises and, when heard, indicate the systolic pressure by the manometer connected to the cuff.
