The distal, funnel-shaped end of the fallopian tube is called the infundibulum. It has moving, fingerlike projections called fimbriae, which help direct ova from the ovary into the tube where fertilization takes place. The adnexa consists of the fallopian tubes, the ovaries, and their supporting ligaments. The broad ligament supports the fallopian tubes. The cornu is the junction of the fallopian tubes with the uterus.
