Case Reports
Comparative study of the fingerprint between two mammalian species and the human
Author(s): Nora A. AL Jalaud* and Haifa M. AL khaldi
This study aimed to examine the morphological and electronic description
of the ventral surface of the finger’s skin or what is known by fingerprint
using fingerprint ink, fingerprint scanner and scanning electron microscopy
in humans (Homo sapines), baboon (Papio hamadryas) and squirrels (Tamias
striatus). The fingerprint is considered as the most common biometric feature.
Fingerprints are based on the formation of papillary projections deployed on
the surface of the skin take different forms and seem separated by grooves
called groove lines.
The present results showed that fingerprints of the five fingers of the human
are differentiated from each to another; and this is what has been observed
when taking fingerprints of the five fingers using fingerprint ink. But, it
was found that all the fingerprints of the baboon monkey are characterize.. Read More»
