The heart and blood, sentence 2

Through a doctor's stethoscope the beat sounds like «lub-dub»: that is not the muscle squeezing but little doors, the valves, snapping shut so the blood can only go one way.

Who acts: beat, that, blood · What happens: sound, not be, snap, go · To what, where: lub dub, stethoscope, muscle squeezing, one way
