Question

What is the function of the septum situated within the heart?

Answer 1

In the heart, the septum is present between the right and left atrium (known as an atrial septum) as well as (known as a ventricular septum). The septum separates the atria and ventricles in such a way that it forms a barrier between the heart chambers and this prevents the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
