The ventricular septum (also called the interventricular septum) is the wall that separates the two large chambers (called ventricles) of the heart. One of its major purposes is to ensure that the relatively deoxygenated blood of the right ventricle stays separate from the relatively oxygenated blood of the left ventricle.

∙ 15y agoThe interventricular septum is a muscular wall that separates the left and right ventricles of the heart. If it was not present (as is the case in some animals like alligators) then the oxygenated blood that has been to the lungs would mix with the blood that has not yet been oxygenated. This means that the blood going round the body would be poorly oxygenated. With the use of the septum all the blood going round the body has been freshly oxygenated and this creates a much more efficient system.

Causes of thickened interventricular septum?
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Location of the Left and right bundle branches?
within the interventricular septum
What are the names the conical elevations of myocardium in the ventricular walls?
according to the college level anatomy and physiology book "holes" 12th edition it describes these elevations as being the interatrial septum which seperates the right from the left atrium, and an interventricular septum which seperates the right and left ventricles.
Anterior branch of the left coronary artery lies in anterior interventricular sulcus?
Posterior Interventricular Branch.
The nasal cavity is divided by the midline what?
The Nasal Septum
What structure divides the left from right ventricle?
interventricular septum
What is the medical term meaning group of fibers located within the interventricular septum?
Bundle of His
Pertaining to the wall between the lower chambers of the heart is?
A septum connects both upper and lower chambers of the heart. This one is the ventricular septum.
What thick wall that divides the heart into two sides?
Interventricular septum
What is the wall separating the heart pumps?
septum
What is the conductive tissue in the wall between the ventricles?
In the interventricular septum lies the hindle of His (pronounced hiss) and the bundle branches. These structures carry the impulses from the AV node down to the purkinje fibres.
What external structure on the heart marks the position of the interventricular septum?
anterior interventricular sulcus
Where in the heart is the bundle of his found?
interventricular septum
What is the wall that separates the heart into two sides?
It is called the interventricular septum.
Wall that separates the right from the left ventricle?
the diaphragm
WHERE is the location of the interventricular septum?
The interventricular septum is the wall that separates the lower chambers of the heart from one another. These chambers are referred as the right and left ventricles.
What separates the lateral ventricles?
Anterior and Posterior Interventricular Sulcus. Sulcus meaning "groove" .
