resorbed
Absorbed into body
Resorbed is the past tense of resorb, meaning absorbed back into the body or broken down and assimilated.
The term appears most often in medical and biological contexts: The bone tissue was gradually resorbed.
Teeth, tumors, and bodily fluids can all be resorbed when the body reclaims their components.
