What is your funny bone how did it gets this name?

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.

What bone is called the ''funny bone''?

The "funny bone" is not one bone, but the inside joint of the elbow where the upper and lower arm bones are connected. If you hit the sensitive inside of the elbow, it is not "funny" except in the sense that it feels odd or peculiar. You are actually compressing the ulnar nerve that runs down the arm.The "funny bone" is the extension of the humerus bone (upper arm bone) into the elbow joint with the ulna (larger forearm bone). At the inside of the elbow, the ulnar nerve is located where the olecranon, or upper end of the ulna , meets the epicondyle, or lower end of the humerus. If the joint is struck, there is a tingling (a funny or odd sensation) and sometimes a temporary numbness in the lower arm, because the signals along the ulnar nerve are interrupted.This has little to do with the name of the upper arm bone being the humerus (humorous), which is the Latin word for "shoulder."(see related question)


Medical name for the funny bone?

The medical name for the funny bone is the ulnar nerve. It runs down the arm and through the elbow, making it susceptible to injury when bumped or knocked, causing a unique tingling or numbing sensation.
