Skin is a multilayered organ that covers and protects the body.
The skin on the tips of fingers and toes is thick and is composed of curving ridges that form the basis of fingerprints. Fingerprints were first used in criminal investigations in 1860 by Henry Faulds, a Scottish medical missionary. Your skin is not just a simple covering that keeps your body together. It
is complex and is essential for your survival. Your ridges are uniquely yours!
