Detailed Solution
Each Fallopian tube (oviduct) is about 10–12 cm long and extends from the periphery of the ovary to the uterus.
The part closest to the ovary is the funnel-shaped infundibulum; its edges have finger-like projections called fimbriae, which help in collecting the ovum after ovulation.
The infundibulum leads to a wider part called the ampulla.
The last part, the isthmus, has a narrow lumen and joins the uterus.
The cervix is the narrow lower part of the uterus, not a part of the Fallopian tube.
Hence the part closest to the ovary is the infundibulum.
