interventricular septum
Cardiac septum which separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle.[FMA]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the interventricular septum is
Cardiac septum which separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle.[FMA]. The atlas records it as an anatomical structure at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the interventricular septum is
It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.
What the interventricular septum connects to
The atlas records 10 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. a kind of cardiac septum.
Supply and innervation
Arterial supply: septal perforating artery.
Also called
Also recorded as heart interventricular septum, heart ventricular septum, interventricular septum of heart, interventriculare cordis, intraventricular septum and s. interventriculare cordis, and 4 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the interventricular septum?
It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.
What does the interventricular septum connect to?
A kind of: cardiac septum.
Is the interventricular septum the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
