The fimbriae of the uterine tube are this Tweeter's favorite structures to point out to learners in the anatomy lab! The term "fimbria" is a Latin word meaning "a border, fringe". #etymology #CAT2022

A great reminder of why it is so important to use descriptive anatomical terms in lieu of eponyms in teaching, writing, and clinical practice. Looking forward to more from this series by Black in Anatomy!
