Detailed explanation-1: -Adrenaline stimulates tiny muscles to pull on the roots of our hairs, making them stand out from our skin. That distorts the skin, causing bumps to form. Call it horripilation, and you’ll be right-bristling from cold or fear.
Detailed explanation-2: -Body muscles contract in quick bursts to generate heat and your hypothalamus triggers a rush of adrenaline. As the tiny muscles attached to each of your hairs tighten, the hairs shoot straight into the air, pulling the skin at their base upward. Goosebumps are born.
Detailed explanation-3: -Other medical terms for goosebumps are horripilation, piloerection, or the pilomotor reflex. Each of these terms describes a temporary change in the skin from smooth to bumpy, most commonly developing after exposure to cold. Many people associate goosebumps with fear, or perhaps more accurately, with horror.
