Scavenging Explanation: This is sort of like cleaning. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2006-08-06 16:50:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Not quite the same, Zeinab. Besides, the asker did provide context which is "drainage system", which naturally reduces the chances of it being a medical term, and leans on the side of its being a process of cleaning. |

dredging Explanation: The context provided is too skimpy and confusing in the light of the subject matter being defined as "medical - biology." If this is about drainage, then the word is "dredging." You can google "dredging drainage" to see how the expression is commonly used and verify if it fits your context. You can also look at this sample page: http://jeq.scijournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/35/2/611 |
