Oviduct:

• Each fallopian tube is about 10-12 cm long, the part closer to the ovary is the funnel - shaped infundibulum.
• The edges of the infundibulum possess finger-like projections called fimbriae, which helps in the collection of the ovum after ovulation.
• The infundibulum leads to a wider part of the oviduct called ampulla.
• The last part of the oviduct, isthmus has a narrow lumen and it joins the uterus.
