Part 2 Performing Modified CPR on Infants Under 12 Months Old. Give chest compressions. If the baby still isn't breathing after giving rescue breaths, open or remove the baby's shirt and place her on a firm surface. Place two or three fingers near the middle of the chest below the nipple line. Press straight down about 1 1/2 inches.
Respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activity. Cellular respiration is considered an exothermic redox reaction which releases heat. The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, most of which are redox reactions themselves.
One way to view cellular respiration is to relate it to breathing. Both breathing and cellular respiration take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. As you will see in this chapter, the oxygen made available to the cells of the body via breathing makes the aerobic portion of cellular respiration possible.
