The bone nicknamed the funny bone is the humerus, this is because the name is similar to the word humour. The strange tinlge sensation when the elbow is hit against something is due to the ulnar nerve being stimulated.
The bone at the top of the arm is called the humerus. It is the long bone that runs from the shoulder to the elbow.
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.
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 bone that makes the posterior point of the elbow is the ulna. The projection at the posterior point of the elbow is called the olecranon process.
the scientific name for the skin on the elbow is called a weenis. The name of the actual elbow (meaning the pointy part you can see) is called the olecranon.
You hit Your Funny Bone!

I think you mean the humerus. Its the bone in your upper arm. :)
funny bone
There is no such thing as an elbow bone, because the elbow is a joint. The forearm has the Ulna and the Radius bones, and there is no elbow bone.
the scientific name for the skin on the elbow is called a weenis. The name of the actual elbow (meaning the pointy part you can see) is called the olecranon.
The common name for the ulna bone is the "elbow bone."
There are two bones in your arm, but if it's the longer one in your forearm then it's called the ulna.
