 Septum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A septum (plural septa), in Latin meaning "something that encloses", is a partition separating two cavities or two spaces containing a less dense material, such as the septum nasi between the nostrils or the septa separating each siphuncle, or chamber, in the shells of nautiloids, ammonites, and belemnites—all cephalopods that retained their external shell.
Histological septa are seen throughout most tissues of the body, particularly where they are needed to stiffen a soft cellular tissue, and they also provide planes of ingress for small blood vessels.
Septa are often used together with Schlenk flasks and Schlenk lines to handle oxygen- or moisture-sensitive materials.

 Septum (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The septa are attached to the inside wall of the shell, thus dividing the phragmocone into camerae.
The nature and structure of the septa, as with the camerae, and siphuncle, and the presence or absence of deposits, are important in classification of nautiloids.
In some nautiloids, such as the Orthoceratidae, the septa tend to be widely spaced, resulting in large, long camarae.

"Septa" is a Latin term usually used in medicine but not necessary and means "wall" or some kind of barrier, smth limiting or enclosing.

 Fungi Online: An Introduction to the Biology of Fungi - Septa (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Septa (cross-walls) can be seen by light microscopy, as illustrated in this series of images and in this movie clip from the Fungal Cell Biology Group, University of Edinburgh.
But septa in the form of COMPLETE CROSS-WALLS are formed to isolate old or damaged regions of the mycelium or to separate reproductive structures from somatic hyphae.
Septa can isolate adjacent compartments from one another so that different biochemical and physiological processes can occur within them - these may result in differentiation of the hyphae into specialized structures, such as those associated with sporulation.

By contrast, the ascomycetes and basidiomycetes are septate; their filaments are partitioned by cellular cross-walls called septa.
The structure of these septa varies, and is taxonomically useful.
This has had a tremendous impact on fungal biology, because it means that no fungus can produce motile gametes, and two organisms must therefore come into direct physical contact to effect sexual reproduction.

For the SAT II Biology, you should know the basic characteristics of the organisms that belong in each of these kingdoms, and you should also be familiar with the names and features of the major phyla within each kingdom.
Structurally, multicellular fungi are composed of filaments called hyphae; some have hyphae that are segmented by divisions called septa, while others have a continuous cytoplasm with many nuclei in each hyphae.
Because they lack a vascular system (vascular systems are discussed in much more detail in the section on Structure and Function of Plants, which is part of the Organismal Biology chapter), bryophytes do not have a stem, leaves, or roots; they must distribute water and nutrients throughout their bodies by absorption and diffusion.
