The fimbricE, lacinicE (AOKI'S), or morsus dia- boli. —The structure and composition of these appendages differ in no respect from those of the plicae or folds of which they are merely continuations. These fimbriae present many varieties of form, but are generally either pe- tiolate, lanceolate, or simply filiform. Their margins are in some cases coarsely crenate, like those of the tubal plicae, while in other instances they are so finely indented, as to require the use of a lens for their examina- tion. The greater number of these fimbriae are attached to the sides or margins of the infundibulum by their narrower extremity only, like leaves thickly clustered on the branches of a tree, while the more obtuse ex- tremity of each leaflet is left free, apparently with the object of increasing the extent of surface of the tube-mouth, which may be applied to the superficies of the ovary. But very commonly one or two fimbriae are ob- served to be firmly attached by both ends, while the body extends horizontally in the form of a flattened band among the rest of the fringes, as at fig. 408. d. The backs of these are always covered by a continuation Fig. Abdominal end of right Fallopian tube, from an adult.
