If the septum has a hole near the ventricles as in congenital heart defect what could happen to the flow of blood?

When the heart beats, some of the blood in the left ventricle (which has received oxygen from the lungs already) is able to flow through the hole in the septum into the right ventricle. In the right ventricle, this oxygen-rich blood mixes with the oxygen-poor blood and is directed via the pulmonary artery back to the lungs.

Which is the most common congenital heart defect in people with Down syndrome?
septum primum-type atrial septal defect due to endocardial cushion defects
Where is a VSD located in the heart?
VSD stands for ventricular septal defect. So a VSD is located in the septum (wall) between the two ventricles.
What structure divides the left atrium and left ventricle?
the septum divides the teo ventricles of the heart.
What is the medial partition between the lateral ventricles?
The interventricular septum is the medial partition between the lateral ventricles. It separates the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
Where is the septum located in the heart?
The septum is located between the left and right ventricles.

What the medical term for been born with a hole in her heart?
The term 'hole-in-the-heart' usually means that there is a defect in the wall between two of the heart's chambers. If the defect is between the atria the condition is called an atrial septal defect or ASD and if the hole between the ventricles is known as a ventricular septal defect or VSD.
Where is a VSD located in the heart?
VSD stands for ventricular septal defect. So a VSD is located in the septum (wall) between the two ventricles.
What is the function of the septum separating the left and right ventricles?
the septum seperates the left and right ventricles
What structure divides the left atrium and left ventricle?
the septum divides the teo ventricles of the heart.
How do you explain about the VSD?
VSD is abbreviation of Ventrical Septal Defect whic is a congenital heart defect. it is a defect in the heart wall that seperates left and right ventricals. this wall is called Septum. in VSD the blood flows into right ventical from the left ventrical through the septum which is not normal. for more details please see wikipedia.org. thanks
What separates the ventricles?
the septum pellucidum

What separates the atria from the ventricles.?
Atrioventricular septum
What separates the lateral ventricles?
Anterior and Posterior Interventricular Sulcus. Sulcus meaning "groove" .
