IT causes a unpleasant pain in the warm and it also causes some numbness in the arm, that's the reason people are shaking their arms. To remove the numbness.
hence, the funny bone
The upper arm bone is the humerus, nicknamed the "funny bone" because of its similarity to the word "humorous".
funny bone
this is your arm bone, if you meant your funny bone, this is the ulnar, because the ulnar nerve is what you strike when you get that funny tingle when you hit your elbow.
The humeri. There is only one funny bone in the body and originally its not a bone. It is a sensetion occurs due to depression over ulner nerve as they are not well covered at the site of the elbow. so this part is known as the 'funny bone'.
The humerus. Edit: Its the humerus its easy to remember because of the phrase "funny bone" funny=humorous=humerus
The 'funny bone' is medically labelled as the 'humerus' (hence the word humour) - it's the bone in your arm from the elbow to the shoulder.
The "funny bone" or crazy bone along the inside of the elbow is on the path of the ulnar nerve. If you hit the internal condyle of the humerus (upper arm bone), a sharp stinging or tingling sensation will occur along the ulnar nerve, sometimes accompanied by a numb feeling in the lower arm.
The humerous is a single large bone that extends from the elbow to the shoulder. It is sometimes called the 'funny bone' , because when struck in a certain way you can have a 'funny' nerve tingling sensation. Humour/ funny.
At your elbow where the Humerus bone ( upper arm )connects with the radius and Ulna ( lower arm )It is not a bone but a spot on the elbow where the ulnar nerve runs close to the surface and produces a sharp tingling sensation if knocked against the bone but it hurts really bad if you hit it and I'm sure everyone has done that at least once....AnswerIt's your elbow, it's only a nick name though, it's called the funny bone because it connects the 'humerous' or upper arm bone to the bones in your lower arm. I don't know why ^^^ is listed under answer because the first answer is correct. the second is absolutely incorrect. There is no 'bone' at all. Just the largest exposed nerve in the body!
The upper arm bone between elbow and shoulder.
The humerus is informally referred to as the upper-arm bone.
