Sonya,
            Like Barry, I do a similar thing but use fruit. Take a banana,
cut it in various ways then let the students see the numerous views of the
orientation beside the one they usually see. An orange is also good, plus it
lets you feed the eager students and have a wee nibble yourself.
Ian.

Sonya
A lot of individuals have a problem with extrapolating 2 dimensional
images to 3 dimensions.
We always give demonstrations to our students of what images you can see
if you take a tube with a side branch or a division into two tubes and
section it from various angles. You get a lot of interesting images and
with oblique cuts of vessels a false impression of the thickness of the
wall.
Histology texts such as Gartner and Hiatt also have nice diagrams in the
introductory chapter.

Thanks for everyones answers - it appears that it is an artery (cut
tangentially or on a bend)- obvious to many, but an eye opener for me!

Thanks again!

Sonya
