Septum

What do we mean by septum?

A thin partition or membrane that divides two cavities or soft masses of tissue in an organism. noun

A partition; a wall separating two cavities. noun

Specifically noun

In botany, any kind of a partition, whether a proper dissepiment or not: as, the septum in a seed; the septum of a spore. noun

In anatomy and zoology, a partition; a wall between two cavities, or a structure which divides a part or an organ into separate portions; a dissepiment. In vertebrates the formations known as septa are most frequently situated in the vertical longitudinal median line of the body, but may be transverse or otherwise disposed. A number of them are specified by qualifying words. See phrases following. noun

In corals, a calcified mesentery; one of the six or more vertical plates which converge from the wall to the axis of the visceral space, dividing this into a number of radiating loculi or compartments. Each septum appears single or simple, but is really a duplicature of closely apposed plates, just as the mesentery itself is a fold. They are to be distinguished from the horizontal dissepiments, or tabulæ, which may cut them at right angles. They are variously modified in details of form, may be connected by synapticlæ, and are divided, according to their formation, into primary, secondary, and tertiary. noun

In conchology, one of the transverse partitions which separate the cavity of the shell of a cephalopod into chambers. noun

The small area of cartilage between your nostrils. Very popular piercing area. However, caution should be exercised with this piercing, and should not be done if you have a deviated septum. Urban Dictionary

A small fleshy area inbetween your nostrils, generaly confused with cartillage, but it is indeed flesh and not cartillage. this is a common area to get pierced, which in most cases is a generaly painless procedure. this is also a great piercing to have if you would like to have many piercings, but, you dont want them all to be visible, because with a 12 or 14 gauge retainer (relatively horse shoe shaped) you can easily turn or slip the ring up. Urban Dictionary

The part of your nose that seperates your nostrils. It can be pierced for a "bull ring" type effect. Also if you do a lot of cocaine over a long period of time (like daily use for years) you will likely rot a hole through your septum, sometimes destroy it altogether and get left with one big nostril...nasty. Urban Dictionary

A part of the nose that everyone and their fucking mother has pierced nowadays. Urban Dictionary

The little piece of cartilidge between your nostrils. Urban Dictionary
