      Note: In adult mammals and birds, the heart is
               four-chambered, the right auricle and ventricle being

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Heart \Heart\, n. [OE. harte, herte, heorte, AS. heorte; akin to
      OS. herta, OFies. hirte, D. hart, OHG. herza, G. herz, Icel.
      hjarta, Sw. hjerta, Goth. ha[a1]rt[?], Lith. szirdis, Russ.
      serdtse, Ir. cridhe, L. cor, Gr. [?], [?] [?][?][?][?]. Cf.
      {Accord}, {Discord}, {Cordial}, 4th {Core}, {Courage}.]
      1. (Anat.) A hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting
            rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood.
  
                     Why does my blood thus muster to my heart! --Shak.
  
      Note: In adult mammals and birds, the heart is
               four-chambered, the right auricle and ventricle being
               completely separated from the left auricle and
               ventricle; and the blood flows from the systematic
               veins to the right auricle, thence to the right
               ventricle, from which it is forced to the lungs, then
               returned to the left auricle, thence passes to the left
               ventricle, from which it is driven into the systematic
               arteries. See Illust. under {Aorta}. In fishes there
               are but one auricle and one ventricle, the blood being
               pumped from the ventricle through the gills to the
               system, and thence returned to the auricle. In most
               amphibians and reptiles, the separation of the auricles
               is partial or complete, and in reptiles the ventricles
               also are separated more or less completely. The
               so-called lymph hearts, found in many amphibians,
               reptiles, and birds, are contractile sacs, which pump
               the lymph into the veins.
  
      2. The seat of the affections or sensibilities, collectively

            usually in a good sense, when no epithet is expressed; the
            better or lovelier part of our nature; the spring of all
            our actions and purposes; the seat of moral life and
            character; the moral affections and character itself; the
            individual disposition and character; as, a good, tender,
            loving, bad, hard, or selfish heart.
  
                     Hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain. --Emerson.
  
      3. The nearest the middle or center; the part most hidden and
            within; the inmost or most essential part of any body or
            system; the source of life and motion in any organization;
            the chief or vital portion; the center of activity, or of
            energetic or efficient action; as, the heart of a country,
            of a tree, etc.

      6. That which resembles a heart in shape; especially, a
            roundish or oval figure or object having an obtuse point
            at one end, and at the other a corresponding indentation,
            -- used as a symbol or representative of the heart.
  
      7. One of a series of playing cards, distinguished by the
            figure or figures of a heart; as, hearts are trumps.
