When arrector pili muscles contract (during cold or fright), the slanted hair follicle is pulled upright, dimpling the skin surface with goosebumps.

The arrector pili muscles attaches to the base of the hair and also to the dermal tissue from both the ends. When goosebumps appear, this action takes place due to the contract of these muscles. These muscles are triggered by the norepinephrine.

Hair follicle is a tube-like pore surrounding the root of the hair. These follicles are responsible for the hair growth. Various hormones, neuropeptides and immune cells are involved in this process of hair growth.

The muscles that contract (during cold or fright), the slanted hair follicle is pulled upright, dimpling the skin surface with goosebumps are called arrector pili muscle.

The arrector pili muscle are tiny muscle that attaches to the base of the hair follicle at one end  and to the dermal tissue on the other end. When the body feels cold or fright the body generate heat and the arrector pili muscle contract all at once, that causes goosebumps on the skin.

The arrector pili muscle acts as the thermoregulator. Straight stand hair increases air trapping, so that the heat loss from the body decreases. The arrector pili muscle are mediated by the sympathetic nervous system.

Where is over 95% of incoming ultraviolent radiation absorbed
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Over 95% of incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed in :

A. The Stratosphere.

Explanation:

  • Stratosphere is the second layer of the earth's atmosphere that lies next to the troposphere.
  • This layer experiences very little turbulence of air and is very significant because of the presence of Ozone layer in it.
  • The UV rays entering the Earth's atmosphere, photo dissociates ozone into O₂ and O. But these molecules quickly recombine to form ozone.Thus, stabilizing the concentration of ozone in the atmosphere.
  • During this photo dissociation UV radiations loses much of its energy. Thus, 95% of incoming Ultraviolet radiation gets absorbed in the Stratosphere.
  • Absorption of ozone UV radiation increases exponentially with the thickness of ozone layer.
