Did you know goosebumps are caused by a muscle?

At the base of every hair follicle are tiny fan-shaped muscles called Arrector pili. These muscles contract when the body is cold to warm it up and cause a person's hair to "stand up straight" on their skin, aka goosebumps.

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, they shoot straight into the air, pulling the skin at their base upward.
