Answer 3

Why don’t people get goose bumps on their face?

Goose bumps are caused by little muscles in the skin called erector pilae.

Each of these muscles is attached to a hair follicle. So, when the muscle

contracts, the hair stands up straight. In many animals this provides

extra insulation by trapping air between the hairs, or makes the animals

look slightly larger by causing all its hairs to stand out (which can be

useful when the animal is threatened and wants to make itself look as big

and mean as possible). In humans the same phenomenon is going on, except

that our hair is not thick enough to make a real difference for insulation

or for threats. Still, the erector pilae involuntarily contract when we

are cold or frightened and give us goose bumps.

There are, however, several parts of the body where the skin does not

possess erector pilae muscles. These are usually areas where the skin is

serving other functions, such as the grasping function of the palms. In

the face, we still have erector pilae like muscles, except that they have

grown much larger. Collectively, these muscles are known as the muscles of

facial expression. In most animals, their main job it to aid in chewing

and keeping the mouth closed. They still serve these functions in humans,

but they also allow us to smile, frown and make a number of other faces to

convey emotion. So, we don’t get goose bumps on our face because the skin

muscles have other, more important, functions in that area.

Ive never though about that! i have no clue! good question..probably because the skin on the face is softer and has more oil glands that keep it warm..evolution...ancestors with these features survived and passed it down to us.

the reason you get goose bumps is to keep warm. your hair stands up on end to protect you from the cold. you usually dont have hair on your face. so this is why.
