This question is misguided. Both sides of the heart contain blood. The difference is that the right side contains deoxygenated blood, which is sent to the lungs to pick up more oxygen. The oxygenated blood returns to the left side of the heart to be sent off round the body to supply all the organs and tissues. The first person to state that blood goes to the lungs, where it is changed by the air and then goes back to the heart was Michael Servetus (born 1509), though the idea was independently discovered by Realdo Columbus around 1559.
