Fimbria

The fimbria are tissues that come out from the ends of the Fallopian tubes. They look like fingers. The largest of these fimbria, the fimbria ovarica, is attached to the ovary. The fimbria form a funnel shape that helps move the egg cell (ovum) into the Fallopian tube and then the uterus.[1][2][3]
