Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fallopian tubes receive the ovulated oocyte and provide a site for fertilization. The infundibula are the funnel-like opening at the end of the fallopian tubes, and the fimbriae are finger-like projections that extend from the infundibula and help guide the ovulated oocyte into the fallopian tube. Graafian follicles are ovarian follicles that mature and eventually rupture to release the oocyte during ovulation.
