Detailed explanation-1: -Goosebumps occur when tiny muscles in our skin’s hair follicles, called arrector pili muscles, pull hair upright. For animals with thick fur, this response helps keep them warm.
Detailed explanation-2: -Goose bumps are created when tiny muscles at the base of each hair, known as arrector pili muscles, contract and pull the hair straight up. The reflex is started by the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for many fight-or-flight responses.
Detailed explanation-3: -The connection between the sympathetic nerve and the muscle has been well known, since they are the cellular basis behind goosebumps: the cold triggers sympathetic neurons to send a nerve signal, and the muscle reacts by contracting and causing the hair to stand on end.
