👉 Sclerotized is a term that refers to a type of tissue or organ in the body that has been modified by the process of sponging. This means that the original structure, which was not normally present, such as fat or muscle, has been replaced with a more uniform and less dense material. Sclerotization is often associated with diseases such as osteoporosis, where the bone tissue becomes more spongy and weak due to the accumulation of sponges.
