The septum of the heart is the dividing wall between the
right and left sides of the heart.
T hat portion of the septum that separates the two upper chambers (the right
and left atria) of the heart is termed the atrial (or interatrial) septum while
the portion of the septum that lies between the two lower chambers (the right and
left ventricles) of the heart is called the ventricular (or interventricular) septum.
The word "septum" is borrowed from the Latin "saeptum" meaning a "dividing wall
or enclosure."
