The muscles are called arrector pili and they pull the hair upright for both of those reasons and a few others.. let me know if you want to know more :)
Piloerector muscles
Arrector pili
Is attached to the base of the hair follicle and terminates at the epidermis. When this muscle contracts it pulls the hair upright and bunches the skin (goose bumps). This action means that the air is trapped between the hair and helps to insulate the body. The muscle contracts automatically when the body is cold.
During an upright row exercise using a resistance band, the muscles primarily worked are the deltoids (shoulders), trapezius (upper back), and the biceps (front of the upper arm).
Feathers are attached to the wing via structures called follicles, which are embedded in the skin. Each feather grows from a follicle, with a shaft (rachis) that extends from the follicle and is surrounded by barbs that interlock to form the feather's surface. The arrangement and structure of these feathers are crucial for flight, providing lift and aerodynamic efficiency. Additionally, the muscles and skin around the follicles allow for some movement and positioning of the feathers during flight.
A test tube can be held upright using a test tube rack, a test tube holder, or a clamp attached to a stand. These tools provide stability and prevent the test tube from tipping over during experiments.
400 to 500.
it's called the diaphragm! but technically it expands your muscles so your lungs can expand, it doesn't expand the ribcage.
To safely transition your newborn from sitting to an upright position, start by supporting their head and neck until they have developed enough strength to hold it up on their own. Gradually increase the time they spend in an upright position to allow their muscles to strengthen. Always supervise your baby during this transition to prevent any accidents or falls.
all of them, muscles can only contract and relax
The tendons in the human rectus abdominis act as focal points for muscle contraction, providing stability and support to the torso during upright posture. They help maintain proper spinal alignment and distribute forces evenly throughout the core muscles to prevent excessive strain on the spine. Their presence contributes to the overall strength and functionality of the abdominal muscles in supporting the body's upright position.
Atretic follicles are ovarian follicles that have undergone a process of degeneration and are no longer viable. During the menstrual cycle, not all developing follicles mature; some undergo atresia, leading to their regression and absorption by the surrounding tissue. This process is a normal part of ovarian function and helps regulate the number of follicles available for potential ovulation. Atretic follicles can be identified histologically by changes in their cellular structure and reduced hormone production.
