I've always wondered what part of the heart IS the cockle? Can you have just one cockle or do they come in pairs or sets? What happens if a person has no cockles? Are they cold-hearted? Aye, so many questions.

A quick Google search tells me, the cockles of your heart actually refers to the ventricles, of which there are 2. They are sometimes referred to as cockles because of the similar shapes of ventricles and mollusks.
