A system of identification of individuals by measurement of parts of the body developed by Alphonse Bertillon

Anthropometry

A class a fingerprint characterized by ridge lines that enter the print from one side and flew out the other side

Arch

A process through which a picture is converted into a series of square electronic, dots, known as a pixls

Digital imaging

To emit visible light when exposed to light of a shorter wavelength

Floresce

A technique for visualizing latent fingerprints by exposing them to iodine vapors

Iodine fuming

I fingerprint made by the deposit of skin oils, and or perspiration, and invisible to the naked eye

Latent fingerprint

In English device that captures digital images of fingerprints and palm, print and electronically transmits them to an AFIS

Live scan

A class of fingerprints characterized by ridgelines, enter from one side of the pattern and curve around to exit from the same side of the pattern

Loop

A chemical reagent used to develop latent fingerprints on porous material reacting with amino acids in perspiration

Ninhydrin

A silver nitrate based reagent formulated to develop latent fingerprints on porous surfaces

Physical developer

A square electronic dog that is used to compose a digital image

Pixel

A fingerprint impressed in a soft surface

Plastic print

A verbal description of a perpetrators, physical characteristics, and dress provided by an eye witness

Portrait parlé

Ridge endings, bifurcations, enclosures, and other bridge details which much match into fingerprints to establish their common origin

Ridge characteristics

A physical change from the solid state directly into a gas state

Sublimation

A technique for visualizing latent fingerprints or nonporous surfaces by exposing them to cyanoacrylate vapors name for the commercial product super glue

Super glue fuming

The type of fingerprint made with a finger deposits of visible material, such as ink, dirt, or blood onto a surface

Visible print

Acasa fingerprints that includes Ridge patterns that are generally rounded or circular

Under which circumstances have two people been found to have identical, fingerprints

None to date

It is estimated that there are how many Ridge characteristics in an average complete fingerprint

150

What are the most commonly encountered Ridge characteristics used by AFIS?

Bifurcation and ridge ending

What is the minimum number of Ridge characteristics necessary before to fingerprints can be identified as the same

No minimum exists

What are fingerprints formed?

During fetal development

What is the purpose of friction skin ridges?

To resist slippage, and to provide a firmer grip

Where are the pores of the sweat glands located?

Skin ridges

Prints that are not readily visible, are commonly referred to as what

Latent

To permanently alter his or her fingerprint and produce scars a person must damage what

Dermal papillae

The second fundamental principle of fingerprints is that a fingerprint is an individual characteristic

False

Which characteristics are rich, endings, bifurcations, and closures and other Ridge details, and they must match in to fingerprints to establish common origin

True

The second fundamental theory of fingerprints states of the fingerprint remains unchanged, once the individual enters adulthood

False

The shape of the boundary formed from the dermal papillae determines the fingerprint pattern

True

Latent fingerprint is a fingerprint made by the deposit of oils and or perspiration that is visible to the naked eye

False

It is possible to obscure ones fingerprints by scarring

False

The third fundamental principle of fingerprints is at the fingerprints have general Ridge patterns that permit them to be systematically classified

True

Loops are the most common type of fingerprint patterns

True

Loops include Ridge patterns that are generally rounded or circular

False

A plain arch is the simplest of all fingerprint patterns

True

The primary classification is the first step and classifying fingerprints under the FBI system

True

When using AFIS, the computer makes the final verification of the prince identity

False
