[Finger dermatoglyphic characteristics in the context of forensic medical identification of personality]
Abstract:
A sample of the Russian population from the European part of the Russian Federation was examined for the elucidation of the relationship between finger dermatoglyphic characters and general personality traits. Special attention was given to the evaluation of dermatoglyphic phenotype of subjects in consanguineous relation with the person being identified, to anatomic localization of papillar lines and other dermatoglyphic structures of the integrated dermatoglyphic phenotype. The informative value of local dermatoglyphic characters and their combinations was assessed. Methods were proposed for the determination of common personality traits referring persons to a given kinship circle and for the reconstruction of a definite dermatoglyphic milieu.

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...
Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
