The point where your lower arm meets your upper arm is known as the elbow and is generally considered to be on the "outside". So what is the bit inside ?. Known to some as the "crook of the elbow", however I think there must be a better answer. ( as in kneecap and back of the knee )

I hardly got from your massage that you would like to know, what is the elbow consists of ?! There is many ligaments controlling the movement of the limbs and a synovial fluid in order to lubricate the movement besides a cartilage is protecting the elbow from any external trauma..

Yes, it is called the inside of your elbow.
If there is a medical word for it, I can't find it. I do know the ligament in there, the one that hurts when you have tennis elbow, is the ulna collateral ligament.
However, I did find out that in some Australian aboriginal counting systems, the inside of the elbow is called the bun-dart, which means "a small hollow" and represents the No. 8.

It's technically (i.e. medically) called the cuibtal fossa. It's a diamond shaped 'space' bordered on each side by muscles in the lower and upper arm. Across/ through it pass major nerves and blood vessels of the arm.

Mick,
Just exactly how much free time do you have? Take a class, join a gym, go out into the world, really, man - the world looks a little different since 1991. But I bet you'll like it. Good luck to you, Mick.

This inside fold of the elbow is called the "Antecubital fossa"

the anterior surface of the elbow is smooth, concave, and forms the upper part of the semilunar notch.

the bendy part in front is the anterior; the bendy part in the back is called the posterior; the others are called laterals, but it's been too many years since school, so I don't remember the exact name.

Ahhh... didn't think of that one, did you!
