Chapter 4 - Fingerprints

These fingerprint ridges enter on one side and exit on the other

• Whorl

• Arch

• Loop

• Delta

These are the small characteristics observed in ridge patterns.

• Minutiae

• Characteristics

• Qualities

• Cores

__________ fingerprints do not have deltas and do not have cores.

• Whorl

• Loop

• Arch

A fingerprint with 2 deltas and a core would be classified as

• a ridge

• a loop

• a double delta con core

• a whorl

This refers to removing a latent print left on an object.

• Lifting

• Inking

• Composite

• Sketching

The triangular pattern used to classify fingerprints is called a

• delta

• core

• bifurcation

• trifurcation

_________ fingerprints are too irregular to fall into any other group.

• Latent

• Composite

• Accidental

• Plastic

A ridge that looks like this is called a

• trifurcation

• double bifurcation

• bifurcation

• split

A ridge that looks like this is called a

• trifurcation

• double bifurcation

• bifurcation

• split split

A ridge that looks like this is called a

• trifurcation
