Olivia catches a baseball at an MLB game that is worth a great deal of money because it is a baseball that a veteran player hit to break a home run record during his final season of professional baseball. Assume this activity gives Olivia good title to the ball. She later sells the ball to Rosie, a 14-year-old, for $250,000. Rosie then sells the ball in an anonymous online auction where sellers and buyers don’t know any information about each other’s identities, and a 44 year old sports memorabilia collector named Sidney buys it for $300,000. What form of title does Sidney have of the baseball after she purchases the ball from Rosie?

Normal cardiac rhythm is established by the sinoatrial (SA) node, a specialized clump of conducting cells located in the superior right atrium. The electrical impulse then spreads throughout the atria and arrives at the atrioventricular (AV) node. This clump of specialized conductive cells delays the signal to allow the left and right atria to finish their contractions and pump blood into the ventricles.  From here, the signal is carried into the interventricular septum by the atrioventricular bundle. This structure proceeds to divide into the left and right bundle of His branches which travel down the interventricular septum. At the apex of the heart, ___________ spread the impulse to the myocardial contractile cells in the ventricles.

Which valve allows blood to pass from the right atria to the right ventricle?
