The ovum is drawn into the uterus by finger-like fimbrae
The fingerlike projections that capture the freshly ovulated ovum are called fimbriae. They are located at the end of the fallopian tube and help sweep the egg into the tube after ovulation.
The female gamete is called an ovum or an egg. This is the cell that is fertilized by the male gamete known as the sperm.
Another term for fertilized ovum is a zygote.
Fingerlike projections that absorb nutrients in the small intestine are called villi. Villi increase the surface area of the intestinal lining, allowing for better absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.
ovum
Fimbriae are fringed fingerlike extensions of the fallopian tubes that help "catch" the released ovum (egg) from the ovary during ovulation. They help to guide the egg into the fallopian tube for potential fertilization by sperm.
The fingerlike projections that capture the freshly ovulated ovum are called fimbriae. They are located at the end of the fallopian tube and help sweep the egg into the tube after ovulation.
The egg released by the ovary is moved by the fimbriae into the fallopian tube. Once fertilized, the egg travels to the uterus for implantation.
