Septum (from the Latin word "septum", meaning "septum") is an anatomical term referring to a thin wall or septum that separates cavities or structures in the body. The septum has the important function of delimiting and supporting different parts of the body, ensuring structural integrity and functionality.
In the context of medicine and biology, septum can refer to different anatomical structures. For example, in the heart, the septum separates the right and left halves of the heart, which ensures the correct direction of blood flow and prevents the mixing of oxygen and oxygen-free blood. In the nose, the septum separates the nasal passages, helping to regulate the air flow, etc. In everyday life, this term can most often be heard in the context of jewelry.

Septum (in the context of jewelry) is a piercing that is done in the septum of the nose, that is, in the thin cartilaginous wall between the nostrils. This type of piercing has become popular due to its uniqueness and the ability to easily hide jewelry if necessary. Historically, this type of piercing has been used by various cultures around the world, including tribes in Africa, India, the Americas, and the Middle East. There are septum tricks that do not require a puncture (piercing)./
Septum-deception simulates septum piercing, but does not require piercing of the nasal septum. This is a great option for those who want to experiment with appearance, but are not ready for constant piercing or feel discomfort from the idea of a puncture.

Septum cheats are usually made from materials such as stainless steel, plastic, silver, or even gold. They are ring or horseshoe shaped and easily inserted and fixed on the nasal septum without puncturing. Some cheats have magnetic fasteners or other mechanisms for secure fixation.
