Oxygen-poor blood (shown in blue) flows from the body into the right atrium.
Blood flows through the right atrium into the right ventricle.
The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs, where the blood releases waste gases and picks up oxygen.
The newly oxygen-rich blood (shown in red) returns to the heart and enters the left atrium.
Blood flows through the left atrium into the left ventricle.
The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body.

The left side of the heart carries oxygenated blood (receive from lungs) and give out the blood through aorta; while the right side carries deoxygenated (from the venae cavae)

Right -deoxygenated blood
left-Oxygenated blood
Right Heart
Right heart is a term used to refer collectively to the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart; occasionally, this term is intended to reference the right atrium, right ventricle, and the pulmonary trunk collectively.
The right atrium receives deoxygenated systemic blood from the superior and inferior vena cavae. The blood is then pumped through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery.
Left heart:
Left heart is a term used to refer collectively to the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart; occasionally, this term is intended to reference the left atrium, left ventricle, and the aorta collectively.
The left atrium receives oxygenated pulmonic blood from the pulmonary veins. The blood is then pumped through the mitral valve into the left ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood through the aortic valve into the aorta.
The left side of the heart is thicker than the right because it has to pump blood from the left ventricle into the aorta and the body.
In other words
The function of the right side of the heart (see right heart) is to collect deoxygenated blood, in the right atrium, from the body and pump it, via the right ventricle, into the lungs (pulmonary circulation) so that carbon dioxide can be dropped off and oxygen picked up (gas exchange). This happens through a passive process called diffusion. The left side (see left heart) collects oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atrium. From the left atrium the blood moves to the left ventricle which pumps it out to the body.

Oxygenated - Left
Non Oxygenated, Right
Right side takes in blood from the body sends it to lungs where it is oxygenated and comes back to left side where it goes out the Aorta to all parts of the body
