Question: 1 / 400

What is the function of the arrector pili muscle?

To produce sebum

To create goose bumps

The function of the arrector pili muscle is to create goose bumps. This muscle is attached to hair follicles and when it contracts, it causes the hair to stand up, resulting in goose bumps. Option A is incorrect as the production of sebum is the function of the sebaceous glands, not the arrector pili muscle. Option C is also incorrect as hair growth is regulated by hair follicles and not the arrector pili muscle. Option D is unrelated to the function of the arrector pili muscle, which is responsible for the involuntary response of goose bumps.
