a fringe or border of hairs, fibers, and so on or a fringelike process, especially at the opening of an oviduct in mammals.

fringed and hairlike outer ends of the fallopian tubes, which capture the egg when it is released from the ovary during ovulation.

The finger like extensions from the end of the uterine tube that aid in gathering the oocyte at ovulation.

(L. fringe or border): Efferent fiber bundle arising from the hippocampus and continuing as the fornix.

the fingerlike projections at the end of the fallopian tubes

The finger like ends of the Fallopian tubes that sweep over the surface of the ovary, and help to direct the egg into the tube.

Tube-like protein structures on the exterior of some bacteria, which may be involved in attachment to surfaces and the formation of pellicles but are not involved in motility.

The delicate ends of the fallopian tubes that help pick up the egg from the ovary.

Latin = a fringe, hence, fimbria hippocampi, a scalloped band of fibres alongside the hippocampus.

thin projections forming a fringe (especially around the ovarian end of the Fallopian tube)

A fringe-like structure at the opening of the Fallopian tube. It sweeps the ovulated ovum into the tube.

the funnel-shaped structure by which ovulated ova gain access to the oviducts.

L. firnbria, fringe or border. Fimbria of fornix.

The flared end (fingers) of the fallopian tube that sweeps over the surface of the ovary and helps to direct the egg into the tube.

A short filamentous structure on a bacterial cell. Although flagella-like in structure, it is not involved in motility, instead, playing a role in adherence to surfaces and in the formation of pellicles (see also pilus).

Tissue that looks like a fringe on the end of the uterine tubes

The finger-like projections at the end of the Fallopian tube that capture the egg and deliver it into the tube.

The fringed outer ends of the fallopian tubes.

Finger-like outer ends of the Fallopian tubes.

delicate tissue-fingers at the outer end of a fallopian tube.

Fingerlike extensions at the entrance of the fallopian tubes.

The finger-like extensions on the fallopian tubes that sweep the egg into the fallopian tube

Finger-like structures at the outer end of the Fallopian tube, which guide the egg, released by the ovary, into the tube.

Funnel-shaped end of the oviduct surrounding the ovary that collects and channels the ova into the oviduct during ovulation. See illustration, page 43.

Projections similar to fingers which arise from the ovarian end of the Fallopian tubes in order to guide the egg towards the uterus.

Finger-like projections at the end of the fallopian tube nearest the ovary. When stimulated by the follicular fluid released during ovulation, the fingerlike ends grasp the ovary and coax the egg into the tube.

In the female reproductive system, the fimbria is a fringe of tissue near the ovary leading to the Fallopian tube.
