The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
Can sperm clog your arteries if swallowed?
No. Swallowing sperm will not cause your arteries to be clogged with spermatozoa. The sperm will be digested in the stomach and small intestine and will not have direct access to the vascular system.
What do you call small artery?

Is hypertension killing you?
Hypertension can really be a health hazard. Excess pressure creates small tears in the lining (endothelium) of the arteries. This allows for sites of plaque formation and eventual arterial narrowing. In coronary arteries, this process eventually places the individual at risk of coronary syndrome or myocardial infarction (heart attack).
What are the small arteries of the circulatory system?
As arteries become smaller to pass through narrower places, they are known as arterioles. Arterioles then branch out into capillaries.
