Answer:

right

PULMONARY AND SYSTEMIC CIRCULATIONS

Step-by-step explanation:

The heart functions as a double pump. The right side serves as the pulmonary circulation pump, shunting the carbon dioxide-rich blood entering its chambers to the lungs to unload carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen, and then back to the left side of the heart.
