Question 17

Is a part of fingerprint which lies within the area surrounded by the type
lines.

Answer 17

PATTERN AREA

Question 18

These are basic boundaries of all fingerprint
patterns. They are formed with ridges which run parallel, then diverge or separate tending to surround the pattern area.

Answer 18

TYPELINES

Question 19

unusual type of ridges found in small percentage of patterns; short,
narrow and badly formed ridges found between two well-formed and full-bodied ridges.

Answer 19

Incipient ridges -

Question 20

depressions or canals between
the ridges, which maybe
compared with the low area in a
tire thread.

Answer 20

Furrows

Question 21

is that point on a ridge at or nearest the point of divergence of two typelines, and located at or
directly in front of the point of
divergence.

Answer 21

Delta

Question 22

The approximate center of the upon or within the innermost sufficient recurve. It may be located on the shoulders of the innermost loop farthest from the delta.

Answer 22

CORE

Question 23

is that point on a ridge at or nearest the point of divergence of two typelines, and located at or
directly in front of the point of
divergence.

Answer 23

Delta

Question 24

Rules governing the selection of delta

Answer 24

Rule 1
The delta may not be located at a bifurcation which does not open toward the core.

Rule 2
When there is a choice between a
bifurcation and another type of delta,
the bifurcation is selected.

Rule 3
When there are two or more possible
deltas which conform to the
definition, the
one nearest the core is
chosen.

Rule 4
The delta may not be located
in the middle of a ridge running between the type lines toward the core, but at the nearer end only.

Question 25

It refers to the approximate center of the finger impression.

Answer 25

Core

Question 26

Rules governing the Selection of Core

Answer 26

Rule 1 The core is placed upon or within the innermost sufficient recurve. Rule 2 When the innermost sufficient recurve contains no ending ridge or rod rising as high as the shoulders of the loop, the core is placed on the shoulder of the loop farther from the delta. Rule 3 When the innermost sufficient recurve contains an uneven number of rods rising as high as the shoulders, the core is placed upon the end of the center rod whether it touches the looping ridge or not. Rule 4 When the innermost sufficient recurve contains an even number of rods rising as high as the shoulders, the core is placed upon the end of the farther one of the two center rods, the two center rods being treated as though they were connected by a recurving ridge.

Question 27

refers to the naming one fingerprint pattern.

Answer 27

pattern interpretation

Question 28

the fingerprint pattern in which the ridges enter on one side of the impression then flow out on the other side with a rise or wave in the center.

Answer 28

Plain arch

Question 29

fingerprint pattern in which most of the ridges enter upon one side of the impression and flow out upon the other side, as in plain arch type, however, the ridge or ridges at the center do not.

Answer 29

Tented arch

Question 30

Arch frequency

Answer 30

Tented arch - 40% Plain arch - 60%

Question 31

The pattern in which one or more of the ridges enter on either side of the impression, recurve, touch or pass upon an imaginary line drawn from the delta to the core and terminate tend to terminate in or toward the same side of the impression from where such ridge or ridges enter.

Answer 31

Loops

Question 32

Requisites of a loop pattern:

Answer 32

It must have a delta and a core it must have ridge count of at least one; it must have a sufficient recurve or recurving ridges that passes an imaginary line between the delta and the core.

Question 33

The process of counting the ridges intervening between the delta and the core.Neither the delta nor the core is counted when an imaginaryline is drawn connecting them.

Answer 33

Question 44

When the deltas have been located, the ridge emanating from the lower side or point of the extreme left delta is traced until the point nearest or opposite the extreme right delta is reached. The number of ridgesintervening between the tracing ridge and the right delta are then counted.

Whorl tracing
