What is the function of arrector pili muscles and situations that might cause these mucles to contract?

What is the name given to the pocket of epidermal and dermal cells that the hair grows within?

That would be the follicle. The hair follicle is a small tubular cavity containing the root of a hair; small muscles and sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles.A mature hair follicle contains a bulb holding the dermal papilla cells, a hair shaft extending from the bulb through to the outer exterior of the epidermis, and a dermal sheath which provides an external covering of tissue around the bulb and along the length of the follicle.The hair follicle extends through the dermis, a hypodermis (a loose layer of connective tissue below the dermis), and a fat (or adipose) layer. In adults, molecular signals between the dermal papilla and the epidermal component of a follicle cause the hair to enter an active growth phase from an inactive phase.
