It is located between the right and left pumps of the heart. One of its main functions is to separate the oxygenated blood of the left pump from the oxygen poor blood of the right pump.

What is the name of the wall dividing the heart atria?
The Atrial septum The wall between the two atriums is called the septum. Septum Cardiac Septum Atrial septum, containing the foramen ovale. Actually its called the interatrial septum...
Where is the septum located in the heart?
The septum is located between the left and right ventricles.
What does the interventricle septum do?
It is a thick muscular septum, which divides the two cardiac ventricles. It also transmits the signal for contraction of ventricular muscles through 'Bundle of HIS'.
What is the name of the fibers that carry cardiac impulses from the interventricular septum into the myocardium?
Purkinje fibers
What separates the atria from the ventricles of the heart?
They are separated by the bicuspid valve (also known as the mitral valve).
What is the thick wall of muscle between the left atrium and right atrium of the heart called?
The wall of muscle separating the right and left atria is the interatrial septum. The interventricular septum separates the right and left ventricles.
What is the muscle that separates the left side and right side of the heart?
The muscle that separates the right and left side of the heart is called the interventricular septum and is just a continuation of the cardiac (Heart) muscle of the heart's walls.
What does the septum look like in pictures?
The septum is a small part of a personÍs nose. The septum is the part of the nose that is located between the two nasal openings also known as nostrils.
What structure produces the heart's electochemical impullses?
Cardiac Conduction System (CCS)There are specialized areas of cardiac muscle tissue in the heart that beat on their own.These specialized areas together coordinate the events of the cardiac cycle, which makes the heart an effective pump.Components of CCS:1. Sinoatrial Node (S-A Node) located in right uppermost atrial wall and the primary pacemaker(rhythmically and repeatedly [60-100 per minute] initiates cardiac impulses)2. Atrioventricular Node (A-V Node): located in interatrial septum;serves as a delay signal that allows for ventricular filling. A back up pace maker.3. Atrioventricular (AV) Bundle (Bundle of His): only electrical connection between the atria and ventricles; located in the superior interventricular septum;4. Right and left bundle branches head downward through interventricular septum toward apex, and impulse finally reaches.5. Purkinje Fibers (Conduction Myofibers) large diameter conduction myofibers; located within the papillary muscles of the ventricles and conduct the impulse into the mass of ventricular muscle tissue.
What is Septoplasty?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct the nasal septum by straighten it. The nasal septum is located between the two nasal cavities.
Which node is located in the inferior portion of the interatrial septum?
Atrioventricular (AV) Node
What is the wall that divides heart cavity?
Cardiac muscle makes up the wall of the heart. It contracts to pump blood around the body. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of all hollow organs except the heart. There are layers to the wall are myocardium, epicardium and andocardium. The heart is covered by a protective sack called the pericardium. The wall protects the heart and makes it contract and relax.
