Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What structure separates the left and right ventricles of the heart?
  • Step 1: Understand that the heart has four main chambers: two atria (upper chambers) and two ventricles (lower chambers).
  • Step 2: Identify the two ventricles: the left ventricle and the right ventricle.
  • Step 3: Learn that the left ventricle pumps blood to the body, while the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
  • Step 4: Recognize that there is a wall that divides these two ventricles.
  • Step 5: This wall is called the interventricular septum.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the interventricular septum is the structure that separates the left and right ventricles.
