The arrector pili muscles that cause goose bumps are vestigial organs now, because they no longer serve their original purpose—to make us look bigger or more threatening to prey. These muscles would’ve caused the hair on our body to stand up, warding off predators. Most likely, they’re remnants from our ancestors who had more body hair.

in Humans, goosebumps is a reflex that helps with the fight-or-flight response, meaning in intense situations, we either run or fight back, depending on the situation. Since we humans evolved from being on all fours to standing upright, these goosebumps actually acted like a danger meter, protecting us from deadly predators or anything dangerous if we could.

Which of the cell types shown helps determine capillary permeability?
alexira [117]

The correct answer to this is:

“Astrocytes”

Astrocytes also called star cells due to their shape are the most abundant glial cells in the brain. Extensions from these cells encase capillaries and offer extra control over which materials enter or leave the intercellular fluid of the CNS thus acting like a permeability membrane.
