Pulmonary circulation is when the right ventricle contracts sending blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs to get oxygenated, then back through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium.

The pulmonary circuit is the circulation of blood that sends blood away fromt he heart via the pulmonary arteries to the lungs so that the oxygen poor blood becomes oxygenated. After this, the oxygenated blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins.

The pulmonary circuit is the path blood takes from the heart, to the lungs, and back to the heart again. This is necessary for the oxygenation of red blood cells to occur.
