CPR makes the blood flow round the body to the brain with oxygen. It basically feeds the brain with oxygen.
When you give the breaths it puts oxygen into the lungs and body. When you do the compressions, you push the blood to the muscles (around the body), then draw it back to the heart.
I hope that helped. :)
