Fimbria -- 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.

 


FIMBRIA: The finger-like projections at the end of the fallopian tube nearest the ovary. These projections capture the egg as it is released from the follicle and deliver it into the fallopian tube.

Fimbria - The opening of the fallopian tube that is located near the ovary. When the area is stimulated by follicular fluid released during ovulation, fingerlike ends grasp the ovary and pull the egg into the fallopian tube.

At ovulation, the fimbriae at the end of the fallopian tube move over the ovary to catch the released ovum.

The tube is attached to the uterus through which eggs travel after the tube's trumpet-shaped end (fimbriated end) catches the egg as it is released from the follicle.

When released during ovulation, the fluid stimulates the fimbria to grasp the ovary and coax the egg into the fallopian tube. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): A pituitary hormone that stimulates spermatogenesis and follicular development.

As the egg is released (a process called ovulation) it is captured by finger-like projections on the end of the fallopian tubes (fimbriae). The fimbriae sweep the egg into the tube.

Adhesins, escherichia coli - thin, filamentous protein structures, including proteinaceous capsular antigens (fimbrial antigens), that mediate adhesion of E. coli to surfaces and play a role in pathogenesis of adhesions.

The portion of the fallopian tube between the isthmus and the fimbria.

This represents the vast majority of all ectopics and is the type most likely to resolve spontaneously through "tubal abortion." The closer the ectopic is to the fimbriated end, ...

Fimbria: The finger-like extensions on the fallopian tubes that sweep the egg into the fallopian tube. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): A pituitary hormone that stimulates follicular development and spermatogenesis (sperm development).
