Definition:

  • (v. t.) To swallow up.

  • (19) When later this was resorbed, and replaced by bone, the cartilage at the attachment zone remained, along with that of the articular surface of the patella.
  • (20) The resorbant organ, rich in odontoclasts, cementoblasts, fibroblasts, and macrophages, formed prominent resorption lacunae in root dentin.

Resorption


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of resorbing; also, the act of absorbing again; reabsorption.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) However in the deciduous teeth from which the successional tooth germs were removed, the processes of tooth resorption was very different in individuals, the difference between tooth resorption in normal occlusal force and in decreased occlusal force was not clear.
  • (2) Resorption of calcium and depositon of inorganic phosphates in the implanted ceramics suggested that ions were being exchanged with the body fluids.
  • (3) In the last 2 years at our department we have developed a new technique in which the resorption has up to now been minimal.
  • (4) The inner diameters increased with age in the same way in both obese and control persons, indicating the the former are not protected against osteoporosis in the form of endosteal resorption.
  • (5) In short term clinical studies, the beneficial effects of transdermal estradiol on plasma gonadotrophins, maturation of the vaginal epithelium, metabolic parameters of bone resorption and menopausal symptoms (hot flushes, sleep disturbance, genitourinary discomfort and mood alteration) appear to be comparable to those of oral and subcutaneous estrogens, while the undesirable effects of oral estrogens on hepatic metabolism are avoided.
  • (6) The resorption, distribution and elimination of ethanol vary individually.
  • (7) The animals were sacrificed on the 14th day of pregnancy and implantation and resorption indices were studied.
  • (8) These changes were accomplished by an increase in sagittal condylar growth and by bone resorption at the posterior part of the mandibular lower border.
  • (9) This kind of distribution of microfilaments was always associated with resorption lacunae, and F-actin, vinculin, and talin zones correspond roughly to the edge of lacunae.
  • (10) To determine whether this density gradient shift was due to increased maturation rate of bone or decreased resorption and mineralization rates, [3H]proline and 45Ca were injected 5 days and 24 hours prior to sacrifice, respectively.
  • (11) Both patients demonstrated dramatic falls in serum calcium concentration, and in urinary calcium and hydroxyproline excretion that were consistent with a reduction in the rate of bone resorption.
  • (12) It is thought that the mechanisms of resorption are: co-mingling with CSF and redistribution in the more acute variety and in instances of subdural hydromas; and thru the healing and reparative process in the chronic type.
  • (13) Revascularisation was evaluated with radioactive microspheres; formation of new bone was assessed by incorporation of strontium, and resorption was assessed by measuring the reduction of graft weight.
  • (14) Bone cement particles promote polyethylene wear, which in turn promotes granuloma formation, bone resorption, and subsequent bone cement disintegration.
  • (15) Prolonged administration of rat prolactin antiserum resulted in an increase in the incidence of resorptions, but pregnancy was still maintained followed by normal parturition.
