resorpcj

Resorpcj is a term used in technical and scientific literature to denote the process of resorption—the withdrawal, dissolution, or reabsorption of material from a system by biological, chemical, or physical means. The word is primarily encountered in Polish-language texts, where it forms from the root resorpc- with inflections such as resorpcji (genitive) or resorpcję (accusative). In English-language science, the corresponding concept is generally called resorption.

In biology and medicine, resorpcj describes processes where tissues or minerals are broken down and absorbed. Notably, osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and dental or periodontal resorption fit this sense. In materials science and tissue engineering, resorption refers to the gradual degradation and removal of a scaffold or coating by cellular or chemical action, enabling replacement with native tissue.

In environmental and geological contexts, resorpcj can describe the dissolution or immobilization of minerals and contaminants as they are bound to fluids or porous media and subsequently removed or re-deposited. The term thus serves as a generic descriptor across disciplines for a common end: the reduction or clearance of a constituent through dissolution, uptake, or degradation.
