The pulmonary circuit is powered by the right side of the heart. Its main function is to pump deoxygenated blood which has returned to the heart from the body to the lungs, then back to the heart. The blood is pumped from the heart via the pulmonary artery. The blood is then oxygenated by gas exchange between the alveoli in the lungs and the pulmonary capillaries. The newly oxygenated blood is then returned to the heart by the pulmonary veins, ready to be sent round the body.

What is considered the left and right side of the engine?

On a RWD vehicle the engine is mounted front to rear. Sitting in the driver's seat, the left side of the engine is on the left side of the car. On a FWD vehicle the engine is mounted sideways. Standing looking at the side of the engine where the transmission is connected, to your left is the left side of the engine. Normally the transmission is mounted on the driver's side of the vehicle, so the left side of the engine would be the side closest to the radiator.

How many papillary muscles are there in the heart?

Papillary muscles are found in the heart's ventricles. They control the AV valves.
