Piloerection refers to the physiological process in which hair follicles contract, causing hairs to stand upright. This mechanism is often triggered by cold temperatures or emotional responses, such as fear or excitement. It is commonly associated with the phenomenon known as "goosebumps." Piloerection serves as a part of the body's response to temperature regulation or as a defense mechanism to appear larger to potential threats.
