A '''heart''' is an [[organ]] that pumps [[blood]] via the [[circulatory system]] to the rest of the body. The heart is a marvelously crafted [[muscle|muscular]] pump and in humans, the heart of an [[embryo]] begins beating 21 days after [[conception]]. The [[Bible]] mentions the heart as a seat for our deepest emotions and wishes.
