35
Q

METHODS USED IN TAKING THE FINGERPRINT OF DECOMPOSED BODY:

A
  1. PLASTIC REGENERATION METHOD;
  2. SODIUM HYDROXIDE (NAOH) SOLUTION METHOD;
  3. XYLENE SOLUTION;
  4. FORMALDEHYDE SOLUTION:
  5. RADIOGRAPHY METHOD.
36
Q

✓ In the decomposed bodies on the fingers there is shrinking of the tissues on the bulb portion of the fingers. In order to remove these shrinkages we have to make use of glycerinated gelatin or air

A

PLASTIC REGENERATION METHOD;

37
Q

2 TYPES PLASTIC REGENERATION METHOD;

A

(A) GLYCERINATED GELATIN:
(B) BY USING AIR

38
Q

-These contains of this Glycerinated Gelatin is one part of Glycerin and one part of Gelatin. The mixture of these two is heated and it is injected in between the nail and the skin for each finger.

A

GLYCERINATED GELATIN:

39
Q

enters inside portions of the bulb of the finger and shrinking is removed then we can use ink and take the finger impressions slowly on a piece of paper which is attached to the shoe horn.

A

GLYCERINATED GELATIN:

40
Q

-Just like Glycerinated Gelatin air is also used for removing the shrinkness on the bulb of the finger. Usually, one to one and half cc of air is injected for finger soon after taking the needle out we have to massage the skin by massaging the air or the Glycerinated Gelatin will not come out from the skin. Then by applying the ink we have to take finger impressions slowly.

A

BY USING AIR

41
Q

✓ In this method 1.3% of diluted NaOH is taken in a flask.

A

SODIUM HYDROXIDE (NAOH) SOLUTION METHOD;

42
Q

✓ The Doctor is asked to cut the first phalange of each finger. Each finger is separately immersed in diluted NaOH solution. Totally we have to take 10 flasks. The label should be pasted for each flask to know the exact finger to which it belongs. After lapse of half an hour we have to see whether the shrinking is disappeared. If it is not disappeared we have to immerse the finger another half an hour within an hour shrinking is almost disappeared. Then we can ink the finger and take the fingerprints.

A

SODIUM HYDROXIDE (NAOH) SOLUTION METHOD;

42
Q

✓ If we fail to get the proper impressions in the second method then we have to adopt this method. Here the upper layer of the skin is removed by using

A

XYLENE SOLUTION;

42
Q

✓ The layer is kept on the operators concerned finger by applying the ink we can take the finger impression on the paper which is pasted on the shoe horn.

A

XYLENE SOLUTION;

43
Q

✓ If the ridges are too soft even in the above method we fail to get the impressions. Then the upper layer of the skin is immersed in higher percentage of formaldehyde solution lie 9%) for few minutes, It is taken out and the prints are taken according to the above method.

A

FORMALDEHYDE SOLUTION:

44
Q

✓ This is the last method of taking the impression of decomposed body.

A

RADIOGRAPHY METHOD.

44
Q

✓This is the most costliest method.

A

RADIOGRAPHY METHOD.

45
Q

✓ When the skin is too soft and the finger is completely decomposed, we can make use of this method.

A

RADIOGRAPHY METHOD.

46
Q

means the photography by means of X-ray.

A

RADIOGRAPHY METHOD.

47
Q
  • Refers to the arrangement of fingerprint records, into groups and subgroups for filing purposes.
A

CLASSIFICATION

47
Q

✓This method of taking the finger impressions is rarely used in the western countries like USA.

A

RADIOGRAPHY METHOD.

-It is also the formula derived for a complete set of the fingerprint pattern.

Q

BLOCKING OUT RULE:

✓ Whorls in any finger are designated by the capital letter

✓ Arches in any finger are designated by the capital letter ___for plain arch and ___ for tented arch.

✓ Loops in any finger are designated by a diagonal line slanting in the direction of the loop.

A

DASH

54
Q

-Refers to the numerical value of whorls.

A
55
Q
  • appears just to the right of the fractional numerals, which represents the Primary.
A

SECONDARY CLASSIFICATION

55
Q

-The summation of the numerical value of whorls plus the arbitrary count of one (1) for consistency purposes. In the absence of whorl type of pattern the Primary Classification shall be 1/1.

A

PRIMARY CLASSIFICATION

55
Q

-It is shown in the formula by capital letters representing the basic types of patterns appearing in the index fingers of each hand, the right hand being the numerator and the left hand the denominator

A

SECONDARY CLASSIFICATION

56
Q
  • It is the grouping of loops and whorls placed just to the right of the secondary classification. Only six fingers are involved, 2,3,4,7,8,and 9
A

SUB-SECONDARY CLASSIFICATION

57
Q

(1,3,5,7 & 9) contain the Denominator while

A

Odd Fingers

58
Q

(2,4,6,8 & 10) contain the Numerator.

A

-Even Fingers

59
Q
  • In other words, the ridge count or ridge tracing sysmbols of the patterns on the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of both hands.
A

Sub-secondary classification (SSC)

59
Q
  • These division are used to subdivide large collections of sets that the primary, secondary and sub-secondary do not divide into sufficiently small groups to permit easy filing and searching.
A

MAJOR CLASSIFICATION (MC)

59
Q

are created by the ridge counting of loops and ridge tracing appearing on the right and left thumbs.

A

MAJOR CLASSIFICATION (MC)

60
Q

the left thumb should be counted first in case of loop pattern appear in both thumb.

  • However, incase of whorl pattern appears, ridge tracing is conducted.
A

MAJOR CLASSIFICATION (MC)

60
Q

-In the classification line, they are shown to the left of the primary classification but they appear after the sub-secondary in filing sequence.

A

MAJOR CLASSIFICATION (MC)

61
Q
  • is the ridge counts of the loop in the right little finger and this is indicated at the extreme right of the numerator in the classification.
A

FINAL CLASSIFICATION

62
Q
  • If the loop does not appear in the right little finger, a loop in the left little finger may be used; it is written in the extreme right of the denominators
  • If neither of both little finger is a loop or whorl the there is no final classification
A

FINAL CLASSIFICATION

62
Q
  • It is obtained by counting the ridges of the first loop appearing on the fingerprint card (beginning with the right thumb), exclusive of the little fingers, which are never considered for the key as they are reserved for the final.
A

KEY CLASSIFICATION

63
Q
  • no matter where found, is always placed to the extreme left of the numerator of the classification formula
  • If there is no loops appears on the thumb, index, middle or ring fingers in both hand, there is no key division/classification.
