title: [Certain specific features of the imprints of the blood-saturated head hair].
abstract: The present experimental study revealed a number of morphological features of the imprints of head hair of different length (varying from 0.5 to 24 cm). The imprints were shown to have a complicated many-component structure in which it was possible to distinguish between the central and peripheral portions. The peripheral part of the hair imprints varying in length fromn 0.5 to 2.0 cm had the shape of the elongated triangles or arrowheads. The imprints of longer hair were shaped as arcuate or linear stripes. It is concluded that the above morphological features of blood-saturated hair can be used during examination of the scene of action or performance of other forms of forensic medical expertise.
