septums
Walls between chambers
Septums is the plural of septum, a dividing wall or partition in biological structures.
The nasal septum separates the nostrils; a heart septum divides chambers.
In body modification, a septum piercing passes through the cartilage between the nostrils: She's had her septum pierced for years.
The Latin plural septa appears in technical writing.
