Where is funny bone found in our body?

Answer 1

Your Humerus is the funny bone. It is found on between your elbow and your shoulder.

"Since 'Humerus' is the homonym of 'humorous', the bone is almost always referred to in popular culture as 'the funny bone'. This may also be a consequence of the ulnar nerve lying very close to the bone, which thus produces a 'funny' (though actually rather unpleasant) feeling when knocked. However, to hit one's funny bone is not a literal expression; the phrase refers to something that strikes someone as extremely humorous."

Answer 2

Have you ever hit the inside of your elbow in just the right spot and felt a tingling or prickly kind of dull pain? That's your funny bone! The "funny bone" got its nickname because of that funny feeling you get after you hit it.

But your funny bone isn't actually a bone at all. Running down the inside part of your elbow is a nerve called the ulnar nerve.

Answer 3

In human anatomy, the ulnar nerve is a nerve which runs from the shoulder to the hand, at one part running near the ulna bone. It is the only exposed nerve in the human body (it is unprotected for a few centimeters at the elbow).

The ulnar nerve comes from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, and runs inferior on the medial/posterior aspect of the humerus down the arm, going behind the medial epicondyle at the elbow. Because of the mild pain and tingling throughout the forearm associated with an inadvertent impact of the nerve at this point, it is sometimes called the funny bone. (It may also have to do with its location relative to the humerus, as the name "humerus" is homophonic to the word "humorous").

It enters the anterior (front) side of the forearm, and runs alongside the ulna. There it supplies one and a half muscles (flexor carpi ulnaris & medial half of flexor digiti profundus). It soon joins with the ulnar artery, and the two travel inferiorly together, deep to the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle.

After its journey down the ulna, the ulnar nerve enters the palm of the hand. Unlike the median nerve which travels below the flexor retinaculum of the hand and through the carpal tunnel, the ulnar nerve and artery pass superficial to the flexor retinaculum via the ulnar canal.

Answer 4

It's the olecranon process of the Ulna, in other words the elbow. The funniness is due to the pinching of the Ulnar nerve as it wraps around the outside of the bone to get into the forearm.

Answer 5

Elbow, its the bony process and the end of your ulna bone and connects to the humerus and is called the olecranon process. The pain when you hit it is caused by the part of the ulna nerve that is exposed. But it is not funny to hit it, it hurts like hell!!
