A sacrifice that is offered completely to God and is completely burned on the altar is called an "olah," meaning it "goes up." When a person 'sacrifices' himself and goes above and beyond the call of duty for a certain cause, the term 'Mesirut (or Mesirus) Nefesh" is often used which literally means giving of one's soul. It's another way of saying that a person has totally sacrifced himself to a certain cause.
