The Infundibulum. The end closest to the ovary forms an expanded funnel, or infundibulum, with numerous fingerlike projections that extend into the pelvic cavity. The projections are called fimbriae.Fimbriae drape over the surface of the ovary, but there is no physical connection between the two structures.
An example of villi is the lining of the small intestine in humans. Villi are small finger-like projections that increase the surface area of the intestine, helping in the absorption of nutrients from digested food.
Cristae
A pair of tubes with fingerlike projections refers to the fallopian tubes in the female reproductive system. These tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus and are where fertilization typically occurs. The fingerlike projections, called fimbriae, help capture the egg released from the ovary and direct it into the tube.
There are three main types of cell extensions in biology: cilia, flagella, and microvilli. Cilia are short, numerous hair-like projections that help with movement and sensing. Flagella are long, whip-like extensions that aid in cell movement. Microvilli are small, finger-like projections that increase the surface area of cells for absorption and secretion.

The infundibulum is the funnel-shaped structure at the end of the fallopian tube, and its fimbriae are finger-like projections that help capture the released egg (ovum) from the ovary during ovulation. The fimbriae move in a rhythmic motion to create currents in the peritoneal fluid, guiding the egg into the infundibulum where it can then enter the fallopian tube for potential fertilization. This structure plays a crucial role in facilitating the passage of the egg towards the uterus.
villi
Villi are finger-like projections that line the walls of the small intestine. They are leaf-shaped, with a large surface area covered in microvilli, which helps in the absorption of nutrients from digested food.
dot
The funnel-like opening at the distal end of the uterine tube is called the infundibulum. It has finger-like projections called fimbriae that help capture the egg released from the ovary during ovulation and direct it into the uterine tube for fertilization.
