septum
Biology
(noun)
cell wall division between hyphae of a fungus
Microbiology
(noun)
a partition that separates the cells of a (septated) fungus
Examples of septum in the following topics:
-
Deviated Nasal Septum
- Nasal septum deviation (displacement) is a common physical disorder of the nose that may require corrective surgery.
- Nasal septum deviation (displacement) is a common physical disorder of the nose.
- A deviated nasal septum is most frequently caused by impact trauma such as by a blow to the face.
- Normally, the septum lies centrally, making the nasal passages symmetrical.
- This CT scan shows a deviated septum in the nasal cavity.
-
Nose and Paranasal Sinuses
- The shape of the nose is determined by the ethmoid bone and the nasal septum.
- The shape of the nose is determined by the ethmoid bone and the nasal septum.
- The nasal septum is wall of cartilage that separates the right and left nostril chambers from eachother.
-
Fts Proteins and Cell Division
- FtsZ is a protein encoded by the ftsZ gene that assembles into a ring at the future site of the septum of bacterial cell division.
- FtsZ is a protein encoded by the ftsZ gene that assembles into a ring at the future site of the septum of bacterial cell division.
- These filaments form a ring around the longitudinal midpoint, or septum, of the cell.
-
Congenital Heart Defects
- Cells in part of the septum primum die creating a hole while muscle cells, the septum secundum, grow along the right atrial side the septum primum, except for one region, leaving a gap, the foramen ovale, through which blood can pass from the right artium to the left atrium, circumventing the pulmonary circuit.
-
Shared Features of Archaea and Eukaryotes
- However, the proteins that direct cell division, such as the protein FtsZ, which forms a contracting ring around the cell, and the components of the septum that is constructed across the center of the cell, are similar to their bacterial equivalents.
-
Pumps and the Heart
- The septum divides the left and right side of the heart, while the valves of the heart ensure that blood only flows in one direction.They include the tricuspid valve-found between the right atrium and the right ventricle-and the mitral valve-found between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
-
Facial Bones
- At the base of the nasal cavity is the small vomer bone which forms the nasal septum.
-
Rhinoplasty
- In open rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes a small, irregular incision to the columella, the fleshy, exterior-end of the nasal septum; this columellar incision is additional to the usual set of incisions for a nasal correction.
- The autologous grafts usually are harvested from the nasal septum, but, if it has insufficient cartilage (as can occur in a revision rhinoplasty), then either a costal cartilage graft (from the rib cage) or an auricular cartilage graft (concha from the ear) is harvested from the patient's body.
-
Electric Activity in the Heart
- As can be seen in , there is a thick wall of muscle separating the right side and the left side of the heart called the septum.
- These cells form the atrioventricular node (AV node), which is an area between the atria and ventricles, within the atrial septum.
-
Anatomy of the Heart
- The wall that separates the left and right side of the heart is called the septum.
