    Thus, fimbriae allow the aerobic bacteria to remain both on the broth, from which they take nutrients, and near the air. Fimbriae are required for the formation of biofilm, as they attach bacteria to host surfaces for colonization during infection. Fimbriae are either located at the poles of a cell or are evenly spread over its entire surface.

    A fimbria (plural fimbriae, adjective fimbriate) is a Latin word that literally means "fringe."Fimbria or Fimbriate may also refer to: . Fimbria, a genus of clams; Fimbria (female reproductive system), a fringe of tissue near the ovary leading to the fallopian tube

    Hippocampus in the human brain Nissl-stained coronal section of the brain of a macaque monkey, showing hippocampal formation and subfields (circled). Hippocampus anatomy describes the physical aspects and properties of the hippocampus, a neural structure in the medial temporal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere of the brain.

  6. Bacterial cell structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_cell_structure

    Fimbriae usually function to facilitate the attachment of a bacterium to a surface (e.g. to form a biofilm) or to other cells (e.g. animal cells during pathogenesis). A few organisms (e.g. Myxococcus) use fimbriae for motility to facilitate the assembly of multicellular structures such as fruiting bodies.

  7. Fallopian tube - Wikipedia

    The opening is surrounded by fimbriae, which help in the collection of the oocyte after ovulation. [4] The fimbriae (singular fimbria) is a fringe of densely ciliated tissue projections of approximately 1 mm in width around the distal tubal opening, oriented towards the ovary. [ 12 ]

  8. External gills - Wikipedia

    The stalk is lined by many thinly walled filaments (fimbriae), containing the majority of blood vessels used in gas exchange. Animals usually have one external gill originating on each gill arch (except the hyoid), which leads to there being three pairs of external gills in salamanders, and four in the gilled larvae of lungfish.
