What is the role of septum in heart?

Open in App

Solution

In heart, septum is present between the right and left atrium (known as atrial septum) as well as (known as 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 mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
