2. What is the function of arrector pili muscles?

• A. To control sweat production
• B. To contract and cause goosebumps
• C. To produce sebum
• D. To sense touch

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To contract and cause goosebumps.' Arrector pili muscles are small muscles attached to hair follicles in the skin. When these muscles contract, they cause the hair to stand upright, resulting in the appearance of goosebumps. This physiological response is a remnant of our evolutionary past when our ancestors had more hair, and the raised hair helped to trap air for insulation or to make them look larger when threatened. Therefore, the function of arrector pili muscles is not to control sweat production (A), produce sebum (C), or sense touch (D), but rather to create the physical response of goosebumps.

This arrangement signifies hierarchy, with the top level usually being on the rightmost side. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 'Middle,' as the lowest level worker is situated towards the left of the chart, not the extreme left or right. This positioning helps visually represent the organization's structure and indicates the progression from lower to higher levels as one moves from left to right on the chart.
