Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The septum prevents the intermixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the heart.
Detailed explanation-3: -The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium. From the left atrium blood flows into the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta which will distribute the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.
