What occurs when leukocytes or enzymes absorb all or part of a thrombus?

The process referred to in the question involves leukocytes or enzymes breaking down a thrombus, which is a blood clot. When thrombi are formed in the body, they often need to be removed or resolved after serving their purpose. Digestion in this context specifically pertains to the enzymatic and cellular processes that break down the components of the thrombus.

Leukocytes, which are an integral part of the immune response, utilize enzymes to degrade the fibrin and cellular material within the thrombus, effectively digesting it. This process helps in restoring normal blood flow and healing the affected area. Therefore, the term "digestion" accurately describes the breakdown and absorption of the thrombus, making this the correct answer.

Phagocytosis, while related, specifically refers to the process by which cells engulf and digest particles, making it a more specific term that does not encompass the broader process occurring with the thrombus. Options concerning necrosis and absorption do not correctly describe the active enzymatic breakdown process.
