there are atrioventricular valves. Between the right atrium and right ventricle there is the tricuspid valve and between the left atrium and left ventricle there is the bicuspid (mitral) valve. When atria contract the valves open and when the ventricles contract they close.

There are walls called septa between the two atria and the two ventricles that prevent this mixing. Unborn infants have an opening (foramen ovale) that does allow this and it should close right after birth.


What does the septum do in the circulatory system?

The septum is a partition which divides the heart into left and right. The right side gets all the impure blood from the body and this is pumped out to the lungs where it gets oxygenated or purified. This blood then returns to the left side of the heart and is then pumped out to supply the tissues. The septum therefore separates the deoxygenated blood from the oxygenated blood


What separates the right side of the heart?

The SEPTUM separates the right side of the heart from the left side. This is to prevent the mixing of oxygenated blood with deoxygenated blood.
