Not to be confused with reabsorption of solutes from renal tubules into the circulatory system.
Resorption is the absorption of cells or tissue into the circulatory system, usually by osteoclasts.[1]
Types of resorption include:
Bone resorption
Herniated Disc Resorption
Tooth resorption[2]
Fetal resorption
Blood resorption
