Each arrector pili is composed of a bundle of smooth muscle fibres which attach to several follicles (a follicular unit). [4] Each is innervated by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. [4] The muscle attaches to the follicular stem cell niche in the follicular bulge, [3] [4] [5] splitting at their deep end to encircle the ...
