What part sweeps the mature egg from the ovaries?
A
ovum
B
fallopian tubes
C
fimbria
D
uterine lining
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your fimbriae are finger-like projections at the ends of each of your fallopian tubes. Each month, they sweep a newly released egg from your ovaries into your fallopian tubes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Small finger like protrusions at the end of the fallopian tube, called fimbriae, sweep across the burst follicle and pick up the egg. The egg is transported to the entrance of the fallopian tube. Once inside the walls of the fallopian tube, muscle contractions push the egg gently towards the uterus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Egg Transport Following ovulation, the fimbriated, or finger-like, end of the fallopian tube sweeps over the ovary. Adhesive sites on the cilia, which are located on the surface of the fimbriae, are responsible for egg pickup and movement into the tube.

Detailed explanation-4: -…in many fingerlike branches (fimbriae) near the ovaries, forming a funnel-shaped depository called the infundibulum. The infundibulum catches and channels the released eggs; it is the wide distal (outermost) portion of each fallopian tube.
