Abstract

The acoustic phenomena produced by friction of organs covered by normal and abnormal serosae, lubricated by normal and abnormal fluids, were studied in rabbits, cats, and dogs. Direct friction of structures covered by normal endothelium, lubricated by normal, physiologic fluids, is a source of murmurs and friction rubs. Direct friction of structures covered by abnormal serosae is also a source of murmurs and friction rubs. The importance of these data for the correlation of clinical, pathologic, and post-mortem findings is discussed.
