In the female reproductive system the fimbria (plural fimbriae) is a fringe of tissue around the ostium of the Fallopian tube in the direction of the ovary.An ovary is not directly connected to its adjacent Fallopian tube. When ovulation is about to occur the sex hormones activate the fimbriae causing it to swell with blood and hit the ovary in a gentle sweeping motion.
