What is the role of fimbriae in the female reproductive system?

Open in App
Solution

  • Once the egg is released from the ovary, the long finger-like projections on the top of the ovary called fimbriae receive the egg and transport it to the fallopian tube.
  • Finger-like projections of fimbriae provide an increased surface area to receive the released egg.
