Q1- Do you know, where is funny bone inside our body?



The "funny bone" is not actually a bone, but rather a nerve that runs down the inside part of your elbow called the ulnar nerve. When you hit your elbow on a hard surface and feel a tingling or numb sensation, it is because you have compressed or irritated the ulnar nerve.

The ulnar nerve is responsible for providing sensation to the pinky and ring fingers, as well as controlling some of the small muscles in the hand that allow for fine motor movements. It is also responsible for providing sensation to the skin on the inside of the forearm.

While hitting your "funny bone" can be a painful and uncomfortable experience, it does not cause any serious or long-term damage to the ulnar nerve.
