** Finger like projections that aid the Infundibulum in gliding over the surface of the ovary. This action enhances the chances of the ovulated Oocyte being captured by the Infundibulum, as ovulation in domestic species does not occur in any one place. The exception to this being the mare, where ovulation always occurs from the ovulation fossa.
