The Blessed Sacrament is the consecrated host (circular piece of unleavened bread) which is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, second person of the Trinity. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is a ceremony during which the Blessed Sacrament is set by the priest into a monstrance for adoration. The monstrance is a blessed, golden container used to hold the Blessed Sacrament. In its center is a circular space where the Blessed Sacrament, in a glass case, is set. Around this center is gold, usually sculpted into long thin pieces that radiate like light from the center where the Blessed sacrament is. This container for the Blessed Sacrament is held upright on a golden pedestal, which is part of the monstrance. During the ceremony called Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the priest exposes the host by setting it in the monstrance, and the monstrance is set on the altar in the church. Thus people can come and kneel and adore Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, which is held exposed in the monstrance.

What is the Catholic benediction?
I assume that you are asking about the Rite of Benediction. The Benediction is used in the Presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Usually in a Catholic Benediction, mostly Latin prayers are recited, and songs that pertain to the Eucharist, such as "Tantum Ergo" composed by St. Thomas Aquinas, are used. The priest or clerical celebrant may form a procession around the walls of the Church, otherwise, the Blessed Sacrament is adored in the focal point of the Altar. Prayers and Chants are recited until the Blessed Sacrament is placed into Reposition, inside the Tabernacle.
What are some ways that Jesus' presence in the Eucharist is honored?
When the Host is consecrated, the priest raises it high so that the people may adore. He does this again at the end of the Canon, and again before the Agnus Dei. Before the Blessed Sacrament reserved, everbody genuflects upon entering and leaving, and anytime that they cross in front of the reserved Blessed Sacrament. During Adoration, the Host is placed in a monstrance, and during Benediction everyone is blessed with the Sacred Host. A light is kept burning by the reserved Sacrament in the tabernacle and many candles are used on the altar when the Sacrament is there.

What is the vessel called that is used to expose the Blessed Sacrament for Adoration?
The term is Monstrance. A Monstrance is the vessel used in the Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, and Anglican Churches to display the consecrated Eucharistic Host, during Eucharistic adoration or Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A monstrance looks like a golden sun with 'rays', with a glass center where the Host is placed. It has a column attached so a priest can hold it high, and a base so the priest can set it on the altar. In the picture above, the monstrance is sitting on the altar. "The word monstrance comes from the Latin word monstrare, meaning "to show". It is closely related to the English word demonstrate, meaning "to show clearly". Both words share a common root. In Latin, the monstrance is known as an Ostensorium (from ostendere "to show") and monstre/monstral (England)." (Wikipedia)
