The correlations of morphometric parameters of finger's dermatoglyphic as indicator of the stability of their morphogenesis

The study shows that the idea of the morphological perfection of form and completeness from the point of view of the morphogenesis of different types of skin ridge patterns of the distal phalanges of the fingers of the human hand does not correspond to general biological regularities established for anthropometric traits. It is shown that the average value of the linear correlation coefficients of the morphometric indices of the skin ridge patterns of the distal finger phalanges is the smallest for patterns of the ulnar loop type (0,42±0,22; M±o), and the largest for the radial loop type (0,49±0,19; M±o). The necessity of interpretation of the obtained data is substantiated taking into account the correlation of the morphological indices of the distal phalanges, which are the substratum of the patterns.
