| septum canalis musculotubarii | A very thin horizontal plate of bone forming two saemicanals, the upper, smaller, for the tensor tympani muscle, the lower, larger for the auditory tube; its termination in the middle ear is the processus cochleariformis.

| septum interalveolare | The tissue intervening between two adjacent pulmonary alveoli; it consists of a close-meshed capillary network covered on both surfaces by very thin alveolar epithelial cells, one of the bony partitions between the tooth sockets. Synonym: septum interalveolare, alveolar septum, septal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septum, interatrial | The wall separating the upper chambers (the atria) of the heart. A hole in the interatrial septum is termed an atrial septal defect (ASD). (12 Dec 1998) |
| septum interatriale | The partition separating the upper chambers (the atria) of the heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
| septum intermedium | Old term for the septum of the atrioventricular canal of the embryonic heart formed by the fusion of the dorsal and ventral atrioventricular canal cushions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septum intermusculare | <anatomy> A term applied to aponeurotic sheets separating various muscles of the limbs; these are anterior and posterior crural, lateral and medial femoral, lateral and medial humeral. Synonym: septum intermusculare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septum, interventricular | The wall separating the lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart. A hole in the interventricular septum is termed a venticular septal defect (vsd). (12 Dec 1998) |
| septum interventriculare | The stout wall separating the lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart fromone another. A hole in the interventricular septum is termed a ventricular septal defect (vsd). (12 Dec 1998) |
| septum linguae | The median vertical fibrous partition of the tongue merging posteriorly into the aponeurosis of the tongue. Synonym: septum linguae, septum of tongue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septum lucidum | A thin plate of brain tissue, containing nerve cells and numerous nerve fibres, that is stretched like a flat, vertical sheet between the column and body of fornix below, the corpus callosum above and anteriorly; it is usually fused in the median plane with its partner on the opposite side so as to form a thin, median partition between the left and right frontal horn of the lateral ventricles; in less than 10% of humans there is a blind, slitlike, fluid-filled space between the two transparent septa, the cavity of septum pellucidum. The transparent septum is continuous ventralward through the interval between the corpus callosum and the anterior commissure with the precommissural septum and subcallosal gyrus. See: cavity of septum pellucidum, septal area. Synonym: septum pellucidum, septum lucidum. (05 Mar 2000) |
