1. ulnar nerve

   The ulnar nerve is one of the three primary nerves in the arm. It travels from the shoulder to the hand, passing through the cubital tunnel in the elbow and the Guyon's canal in the wrist, and provides sensation to the pinky finger and half of the ring finger. It also controls most of the small muscles in the hand, aiding in fine motor movements. Injury or compression of the ulnar nerve can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness, a condition colloquially known as “hitting your funny bone.”

1. Ulnar nerve

   In human anatomy, the ulnar nerve is a nerve which runs near the ulna bone. The ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint is in relation with the ulnar nerve. The nerve is the largest unprotected nerve in the human body, so injury is common. This nerve is directly connected to the little finger, and the adjacent half of the ring finger, supplying the palmar side of these fingers, including both front and back of the tips, perhaps as far back as the fingernail beds. One method of injuring the nerve is to strike the medial epicondyle of the humerus from posteriorly, or inferiorly with the elbow flexed. The ulnar nerve is trapped between the bone and the overlying skin at this point. This is commonly referred to as bumping one's "funny bone". This name is thought to be a pun, based on the sound resemblance between the name of the bone of the upper arm, the "humerus" and the word "humorous". Alternatively, according to the Oxford English Dictionary it may refer to "the peculiar sensation experienced when it is struck".

1. Ulnar Nerve

   A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the ulnar nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C7 to T1), travel via the medial cord of the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the hand and forearm.
