These occur when the erectors contract. Erectors are the obliquely arranged muscles located between the base of the hair follicles and the outer part of the dermis. These smooth muscles are required to bring about motion of the hair. When the erector muscles contract, it causes the hair to get pulled vertically thereby depressing the epidermis, causing goose flesh. It is also known as goosebumps.
