Is oxygen rich blood part or the systemic circulatory system or pulmonary circulatory system?

Both: The blood leaving the lungs (traveling to the heart), and that same blood leaving the heart to go to body's organs is oxygen-rich blood.

Systemic : The lungs oxygenate the blood then return it to the heart to be pumped to the body.
