A)Percussion elicits five types of sound: flatness, dullness, resonance, hyperresonance, and tympany. Flatness is an extremely dull sound produced by very dense tissue, such as muscle or bone. Dullness is a thudlike sound produced by dense tissue such as the liver, spleen, or heart. Resonance is a hollow sound, such as that produced by lungs filled with air. Hyperresonance is not produced in the healthy body. It is described as booming that can be heard over an emphysematous lung. Tympany is a musical or drumlike sound produced from an air-filled stomach.
