No short 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.
No there is no such bone. There is a nerve that when it is hit in the right place 'feels like a funny bone, but it it is not actually a bone at all. Running down the inside part of your elbow is a nerve called the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve lets your brain know about feelings in your fourth and fifth fingers. It's also one of the nerves that controls some movement of your hand.You get that 'funny feeling' when the ulnar nerve is bumped against the humerus, the long bone that starts at your elbow and goes up to your shoulder. Tapping your funny bone doesn't do any damage to your elbow, arm, or ulnar nerve. But it sure feels strange!
The scientific name for the lesser forearm bone is the Ulna or Ulnar bone.
