Interventricular septum
Location:
Heart ventricles
Description:
Thick, muscular, inferior part of partition separating right and left ventricles
Forms majority of interventricular septum

Left atrium
Location:
Heart
Description:
One of four heart chambers
Thin, smooth wall
Receives four pulmonary veins
Internal features include interatrial septum
Comment:
Forms most of base of heart
Separated from left ventricle by left atrioventricular (bicuspid or mitral) valve
Only its auricle seen in anterior view of heart

Left ventricle
Location:
Heart
Description:
One of four heart chambers
Thick, muscular walls
Internal features include papillary muscles, chordae tendineae, trabeculae carneae, interventricular septum, and aortic vestibule
Comment:
Separated from left atrium by left atrioventricular (bicuspid or mitral) valve
Separated from aorta by aortic valve
Walls twice as thick as right ventricle
Forms apex of heart
Responsible for pumping oxygen-rich blood to body (except lungs)

Right atrium
Location:
Heart
Description:
One of four heart chambers
Thin, smooth, posterior wall
Thin, rough anterior wall (pectinate muscles)
Receives superior and inferior venae cavae and coronary sinus
Internal features include interatrial septum, fossa ovalis, and crista terminalis
Comment:
Forms right surface of heart
Separated from right ventricle by atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve

Right ventricle
Location:
Heart
Description:
One of four heart chambers
Rough, muscular walls (trabeculae carneae)
Muscle wall thicker than either atrium, and thinner than left ventricle
Internal features include papillary muscles, chordae tendineae, interventricular septum, and conus arteriosus
Comment:
Separated from right atrium by atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve
Separated from pulmonary trunk by pulmonary valve
Responsible for pumping oxygen-poor blood to lungs
