The right side of the heart receives blood that is deoxygenated from the rest of the body. Furthermore, this blood will have a high CO2 content, needing removal from the body. The right side of the heart therefore pumps blood via the pulmonary arteries (deoxygenated blood) to the lungs, where it will be re-oxygenated and be ready for systemic circulation. Therefore it is referred to deal with pulmonary circulation as it pumps blood to the lungs.

Systemic circulation follows pulmonary circulation in the blood flow cycle.
