What muscle that causes a goose bump?
Goosebumps are caused by little muscles called the arrectores pilorum (the hair erector muscles). Contraction of these muscles elevates the hair follicles above the rest of the skin. And it is these tiny elevations we perceive as goose bumps. Source: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=6842

Is arrector pilli assist in maintaining skin tonus?
Yes, the arrector pili muscles contribute to maintaining skin tone. These small muscles are attached to hair follicles and contract in response to various stimuli, causing the hair to stand on end and the skin to form "goosebumps." This contraction helps to firm the skin and provide support.
What is arrector pilli muscle?

Why is the erector pili vestigial?
Arrector pilli. Humans do not have enough hair left to raise in trapping heat under a good layer of hair, so now this response just tells us we are too cold, or that danger is eminent.

How can sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers exert antagonistic effects?
Sympathetic fibers convey impulses that stimulate our "fight or flight" response. Parasympathetic are just the opposite, you might say they are for "rest and digest". They are both firing at the same time but depending on your environment and emotional state, one will dominate over the other. Sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers release different neurotransmitters, which bind to different receptors. Three structures that receive sympathetic innervation are the adrenal glands, arrector pilli muscles, and sweat glands.
