If it flows out when the blood moves then it wouldn’t accumulate there in the first place. I’m not sure what you’re having difficulty with here.

It doesn’t flow out when the blood moves, because the bloodstream is a closed loop (more or less). It can only flow out if you lose blood.

The blood supplies to and through every single, organ the vast majority of which are much more likely to catch and accumulate particles than the stream or vessels themselves.

That’s true.
