Fingerprint Ridge Patterns and Characteristics More than “Fingerprints” Fingers, toes, feet, palms and lips are covered with small ridges that are raised portions of the skin. These are arranged in connected units called dermal or friction ridges. Purpose of Ridges The ridges goal is to help grip objects Ridgeology: Evaluation method of all the ridges on the volar areas (not just the fingerprints). This process helps to address the entire ridge detail spectrum.
