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.

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
