What is another word for ulnar nerve?
Pronunciation: [ˈʌlnɑː nˈɜːv] (IPA) 
The ulnar nerve can be referred to as the cubital nerve or the funny bone. It is a nerve that runs from the neck down to the fingers and serves the hand and forearm. The nerve plays a vital role in the sensation and movement of the hand, including feeling and movement of the little finger and the ring finger. The term "cubital" references the elbow where the nerve is commonly compressed, causing pain and discomfort. The nickname "funny bone" comes from the sensation experienced when the ulnar nerve is hit, causing a tingling or numbing feeling in the arm, often in a humorous way.
