Resorption
Definition:
(n.) The act of resorbing; also, the act of absorbing again; reabsorption.
Example Sentences:

(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.
