•Blood flows through arteries with great force of flow, so arterial walls are thick and flexible. They are made up of three muscle layers, combining of connective tissue and elastic-like tissues. These thicker walls help protect against damage to the artery walls from the high pressure.
•Arteries get smaller and smaller the further they get away from the heart, becoming capillaries at their smallest point.

Capillaries

C. S. Lewis observed, "You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to" (Mere Christianity [Macmillan, 1952], pp. 40-41).

I have a 7 yr old daughter and we normally clean out her room every season and bring the used toys to a drop box for children. Well I have been trying to explain to her about children that have nothing, and I don't think she gets it, so I would like to actually bring her to a shelter that exccepts used items so she could see it for herself.
Any ideas on where to go would help.
