why are the pulmonary and systemic circulation, named what they are..?

I'm doing homework for my homeschooling and I can't find any information on the pulmonary circulation or the systemic circulation... and I have to figure out

"Why do you think these two types of circulation are so named?"

I really need sites that can help me.

Pulmonary pertains to the lungs. This is the circulation in the lungs. Systemic circulation goes to the rest of the body, all the systems.
