Abstract

Questions concerning a wide group of the organism vital activity waste formed and transformed in tissues are discussed. The definition of this waste, named as "garbage", is given. This designation is complementary to the term "scavenger receptor", the receptor through which the absorption of this group of vital activity garbage takes place. On the basis of analysis of "garbage" formation and utilization, possible pathological processes in the organism are considered, and the existence of a separate pathology form named «scavenger-syndrome», is postulated.
