- CThrough a septum
- DThrough an opening
Correct answer
D. Through an opening
Step-by-step solution
Our heart has four chambers, two relatively small upper chambers called atria and two larger lower chambers called ventricles.

The atrium and the ventricle of the same side are also separated by a thick fibrous tissue called the atrio-ventricular septum . However, each of these septa are provided with an opening through which t
