In medical terms, standing hair is called piloerection, cutis anserina or horripilation. Colloquially we call it Goosebumps. In this process, the hairs of the pores which are in our skin stand out. If there is no hair, then the skin rises up. Sometimes goosebumps also occur during physical exertion or everyday activities such as defecation.

One reason for goosebumps is that physical exertion activates your sympathetic and nervous system. Sometimes goosebumps come without any reason. Goosebumps also helps keep you warm. They are such that when you feel very cold, the movement of the muscles activates the goosebumps and in this case the body becomes hot. As your body starts warming up, your hair will gradually disappear.
