Been thinking and observing lately and keep coming up with more and more questions.
At any rate, I was wondering if one’s goosebump muscles can become so buff that they could leave one’s skin bumpy.
I’m sure there’s no practical application t othis knowledge…I just thought that since you could tone and reshape your whole body by working your muscles, is it feasable that you could attain a reptilian texture by buffing up those small muscles?
Something t othink abot the next time I watch the “Exorcist”

Those small goosebump muscles are connected to your autonomic nervous system, like your digestive tract, and aren’t under your control. But it’s an interesting idea.

It doesn’t exactly answer your question, but you may be interested in this Staff Report: What is the purpose of goose bumps?
I can control my goosebumps…
I mean not individually, but I can, say, give just my left arm the heebie-jeebies. Or my legs…that’s how I get that close, silky-smooth shave.
I’ve been wondering this ever since those dagnabbed physio/anat. classes.
