What is the name of the muscular wall that separates the heart into right and left sides?
A
valves
B
ventricles
C
atria
D
septum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Muscular walls, called septa or septum, divide the heart into two sides. On the right side of the heart, the right atrium and ventricle work to pump oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. On the left side, the left atrium and ventricle combine to pump oxygenated blood to the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The interventricular septum, also known as the ventricular septum, refers to the triangular wall of cardiac tissue that separates the left and right ventricles (i.e., the lower chambers) of the heart. The entire interventricular septum can be further divided into two parts: a muscular portion and a membranous portion.

Detailed explanation-3: -The muscle layer of the heart is termed the myocardium and is made up of cardiomyocytes. The myocardium is found in the walls of all four chambers of the heart, though it is thicker in the ventricles and thinner in the atria.
