Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Goose bumps, also known as piloerection, occur in response to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is often activated by adrenergic agonists. They occur due to contraction of the small muscles at the base of hair follicles, causing the hairs to stand up. Adrenergic antagonists would block this response, while cholinergic agonists and antagonists are not directly involved in this process.
