Definition
radial and ulnar loop
Term
The forking or dividing of one ridge into two or more branches is called:
Definition
bifurcation
Term
The spreading apart of two ridges which have been running parallel or nearly parallel is called:
Definition
Divergence
Term
The point on a ridge at or in front of and nearest the center of the divergence of the type lines
Definition
Delta
Term
The appoximate center of the finger impression is called the:
Definition
core
Term
The number of ridges intervening between the delta and the core is known as the:
Definition
ridge count
Term
In this type of arch the ridges tend to enter the impression on one side of the arch and then flow out the other side of the impression, however, the ridge or ridges at the center do not.
Definition
Tented Arch
Term
This type of fingerprint pattern occurs in thirty percent of all ingerprints
Definition
Whorls
Term
This type of whorl has two deltas and at least one ridge which makes or tends to make a complete circuit and requires that an imaginary line drawn between the two deltas must not touch or cross any recurving ridges within the inner pattern area
Definition
Central Pocket Loop Whorl
Term
This type of whorl has two separate loop formations, with two separate and distinct sets of shoulders, and two deltas
Definition
Double Loop Whorl
Term
This type of whorl consists of a combination of two or more different types of patterns
Definition
Accidental Whorl
Term
A whorl tracing where the ridge traced passes inside the right delta, and three or more ridges intervene between the tracing ridge and the delta, the tracing is designated as an:
Definition
Inner tracing
Term
Two forks of a bifurcation may never constitute type lines, except for one exception:
Definition
Th forks run parallel after bifurcation and then diverge.
Term
The delta may not be located on a bifurcation which:
Definition
does not open to the core
Term
The delta cannot be a:
Definition
core
Term
when there is a choice between a bifurcation and another type of delta, equally close to the point of divergence, which is selected?
Definition
the bifurcation
Term
When there is a series of bifurcation opening toward the core at the point of divergence of the two type lines, which is chosen?
Definition
the bifurcation nearest the core
Term
what are the three essential requirements of the loop?
Definition
a sufficient recurve, a delta, and a ridge count
Term
the pattern areas of loops and whorls are enclosed by:
Definition
type lines
Term
the part of a loop or whorl in which appear the cores, deltas, and ridges with which we are concerned in classifying is called:
Definition
the pattern area
Term
What is defined as the two innermost ridges which start paralle, diverge, and surround or tend to surround the pattern area?
Definition
