@be_physicts: The post from shares a detailed 3D animation revealing how fingerprint ridges originate from the deeper dermal layer and basal skin structures rather than the surface epidermis, explaining their regeneration after damage like burns or cuts. Fingerprints develop in the womb around 10-16 weeks of pregnancy, guided by genetic and environmental factors in the uterus, making them unique even among identical twins due to subtle differences in foetal positioning and pressure. While superficial injuries heal to restore the original pattern, only deep dermal destruction from severe trauma or specific chemicals can potentially alter them permanently, though complete erasure remains extremely difficult and often leaves detectable traces. #bephysicts🌐 #Science #foryou
