Ulnar nerve......
Hitting your funny bone actually involves hitting the ulnar nerve, located near the elbow. The tingling sensation is due to the impact causing the ulnar nerve to be compressed, leading to a temporary disruption in nerve signaling. This can result in a tingling or electric shock-like feeling in the arm and hand.
The "funny bone" is not actually a bone but a nerve called the ulnar nerve. When you hit your funny bone, you are actually hitting the nerve which runs along the inner part of your elbow. The term "funny bone" likely comes from the tingling or funny sensation you feel when you hit it.
well the funny bone is the bone....but if you're wondering why its CALLED funny bone, then its because a part in the funny bone is called humerus and HUMERus (its like humor but misspelled)
The "funny bone" is not actually a bone, but rather a nerve called the ulnar nerve that runs along your elbow. When you hit your funny bone, you are actually hitting this nerve, causing a tingling or numbing sensation down your arm.
Electrical stimulation is typically the most effective method for nerve stimulation as it can directly trigger action potentials in the nerve fibers. Light and chemical stimuli can also stimulate nerves but are generally not as precise or efficient as electrical stimulation.

The funny bone isn't actually a bone. It is the unprotected ulnar nerve which runs from your elbow down to your wrist.

The "funny bone" got its name because when it's hit, it can cause a tingly or funny sensation in the arm. Its proper name is the ulnar nerve, and hitting it can actually be quite painful rather than funny.
