funny bone
Your "funny bone" isn't really a bone, its a nerve.
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.
Striking the "funny bone" is actually stimulating the ulnar nerve, which runs from the neck down to the hand. When the ulnar nerve is accidentally hit or compressed, it can cause a tingling sensation and discomfort in the elbow, forearm, and hand.
They nicknamed it the 'funny bone' because when you hit it, it feels all funny. I hope this information was useful. Also, the name of the bone is Humerus, which sounds like Humorous (funny) 1826

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