To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
- Fingerprint: The markings on the skin on the last joint of the thumb or finger.
- Fingerprint Ridges: The raised lines on the fingerprint.
- Fingerprint Pattern: The main design in the middle of the fingerprint; usually a loop, whorl, or arch.
- Volar Pad: The mass of stem cells that grows under the fingers during a particular time during fetal development that is responsible for determining the pattern of the fingerprint.
