[The value of the human auricle for its identification]
1Kutafin Moscow State Law University, Moscow, Russia.
Abstract:
The purpose of the study is the possibility of a more complete use of the signs of the structure of the auricle in the identification of a person. The authors conducted a comparative study of the morphological features of the elements of the human auricle in an artistic image and a profile photograph by comparing the same-name features. If images are presented for identification that do not fully reproduce the face of a person, or images in profile, then identification can be difficult. It is noted that the signs of the structure of the auricle for identification are still clearly insufficiently used, although it is in this perspective (in profile) that such signs of the structure of the auricle as the degree of protrusion and the size of individual elements are displayed. The significant role of the auricle as an object of identification in profile mapping of the human head is substantiated.

The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
