Definition of resorption in English:

resorption

noun rɪˈzɔːpʃ(ə)nrɪˈsɔːpʃ(ə)n
mass noun
  • 1The process or action by which something is reabsorbed.

    the resorption of water
    Example sentencesExamples
    • He draws two conclusions, namely that the small mass of water can easily be absorbed, making the process of resorption an important one, and that there is little change in glass viscosity due to the very small amounts of water involved.
    • These retrograde fluids may also have triggered new zircon growth, or the partial resorption of narrow zircon rims as suggested by the embayed rim morphologies.
    • Even so the process of gas resorption and the existence of a gas retention regime will still be important.
    • They propose that in the gas retention regime, resorption of water greatly speeds up welding by reducing the viscosity of the glass.
    1. 1.1Physiology The absorption into the circulation of cells or tissue.
      bone resorption
      Example sentencesExamples
      • It is well established that osteoclasts, specialized multinucleated giant cells responsible for bone resorption, i.e. osteoclasts, were derived from activated macrophages and play a role in the direct lysis of bone.
      • Several drugs are now available which have powerful actions on bone metabolism: examples are the bisphosphonates and the calcitonins, both of which inhibit bone resorption and can be used in the treatment of osteoporosis.
      • Compression bandaging decreases arterial filtration and increases venous resorption, and assists in decreasing the size of dilated interstitial spaces.
      • Clinical studies have shown that accelerated bone resorption occurs at all doses.

      Example sentencesExamples

      • Once sealed, the cell merges with the bone to form a diffuse region called the ‘ruffled zone’, underneath which resorption takes place in finger-like projections called the resorptive lacunae.

      • The increase in osteoclasis and the uncoupling of osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity resulted in an increase in resorptive surfaces.

Origin

Early 19th century: from resorb, on the pattern of the pair absorb, absorption.
