Question

figure 5.1
using figure 5.1, match the following:

Explanation:

Identify the structure that pulls the hair follicle upright

Using the Integumentary System Anatomy knowledge point, we analyze the labeled structures in Figure 5.1:

• A points to the arrector pili muscle, a smooth muscle attached to the hair follicle.
• B points to adipose tissue in the hypodermis.
• C points to a sweat gland (eccrine gland).
• D points to the dermis layer.
• E points to the epidermis layer.

The structure responsible for pulling the hair follicle into an upright position (causing "goosebumps") is the arrector pili muscle, labeled as A.
