The degree of a power, or             radical, is denoted by its index, that of an equation by             the greatest sum of the exponents of the unknown             quantities in any term; thus, ax^{4} + bx^{2} = c, and             mx^{2}y^{2} + nyx = p, are both equations of the fourth             degree.          9. (Trig.) A 360th part of the circumference of a circle,             which part is taken as the principal unit of measure for             arcs and angles.

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 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.                         Exploits done in the heart of France. --Shak.                         Peace subsisting at the heart Of endless agitation.                                                                               --Wordsworth.          4.

Vigorous and efficient activity; power of fertile             production; condition of the soil, whether good or bad.                         That the spent earth may gather heart again.                                                                               --Dryden.          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.          8.
