Death
The three main Mortis'
Rigor, Algor, and Livor
The three fingerprint patterns.
Arch, Loop, Whorl
The function of DNA.
The four components of blood.
Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.
Projective psychology test that asks the patient to assign meaning to abstract images.
Inkblot test (or Thematic Apperception Test)
The three levels of death classification.
Manner, cause, and mechanisms
The small, unique ridges patterns along fingerprints. Include two examples.
Minutiae
Ending ridge, fork (bifurcation), island ridge (short ridge), dot, bridge, spur (hook), eye, double bifurcation, delta, trifurcation
DNA stands for...
Deoxyribose nucleic acid.
The function of white blood cells.
Immunity
Three types of murders.
Mass, Spree, Serial
The five stages of decomposition.
Fresh, Bloat, Active Decay, Advanced Decay, Skeletonization
The types of fingerprints left at crime scenes.
Plastic, Latent, Visible
Three types of cells that don't have any DNA.
Red blood cells, surface layer of skin, hair (no follicle), nails
Name every blood type.
AB+/-, A+/-, B+/-, O+/-
Lying about physical or mental defects to appear worse than they actually are
Malingering
The five manners of death.
Natural, Accidental, Homicide, Suicide, Undetermined
The layer fingerprints form.
Basal
The most common method used for separating strands of DNA.
DNA gel electrophoresis.
Equation to predict the height of impact (of a blood droplet).
y=mx+b
Mental disorder characterized by the disregard for other people.
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)
The two stages of cell apoptosis.
Stoppage and autolysis
Three techniques for finding fingerprints at crime scenes.
Powder, cyanoacrylate vapor, iodine fuming, ninhydrin, silver nitrate
Small lengths of DNA that are unique to each human being.
Short Tandem Repeats (STRs)
Equation to determine the angle of impact.
AoI = sin-1(width/length)
Progression that often leads to violent behaviors. In other words, how are serial killers made?
Abuse at a young age --> Create violent fantasies to cope --> Slowly to enact fantasies as the get older
