Your brain and nervous system are connected to muscle cells, called arrector pili, at the base of hairs all over your body. When you think about things that make you very emotional these muscle cells sometimes contract to create little bumps on your skin and the hairs to stand up. Usually accompanied by a pleasant tingling sensation or chills.
