The Circulatory System Muscle Tissue is involuntary and called Cardiac Tissue Right side of heart pumps to the lungs (pulmonary circulation), left side to the body (systemic circulation The left side is larger due to amount of work that it is required to complete Blood enters the atria, where it then moves into the ventricles. A one way valve separates the chambers. 136.
