Solution
Answer
- Goose-flesh is the non-permanent state of the skin due to the cold or excitement.
- This condition is brought about by the muscle contraction in between the base of the hair follicle and outer dermis.
- The muscle that contracts is the arrector muscle also called erector.
- The contraction of the muscle leads to the pulling of hair from one end.
- This results in lifting of hair in a vertical position.
