At times when i see something greatly inspiring, i get goose bumps. I do not understand why however, since inspiration isn't really an "emotion". Would anyone know how inspiration can relate to goose bumps?Goose bumps, also called goose pimples, goose flesh, or cutis anserina, are the bumps on a person's skin at the base of body hairs (typically on the forearm), which involuntarily develop when a person is cold, afraid, or experiences other strong emotions.
Not challenging your great knowledge Moonbear, but could anyone verify this?Moonbear said:I'd venture the guess that it's the epinephrine (adrenaline) release associated with excitement.
