The muscle connected to hair follicles is called the arrector pili muscle. This small, smooth muscle contracts in response to cold or emotional stimuli, causing the hair to stand erect, a phenomenon commonly known as "goosebumps." These muscles play a role in thermoregulation and can also make the animal appear larger to potential threats.
