Question

If you touch at elbow, you get a shock like feeling. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The ulnar nerve located at the elbow travels through a tissue that runs under a bone bump called the medial epicondyle in the inside of the elbow. The place where the nerve runs under this medial epicondyle is called the funny bone. At the funny bone, the nerve is close to the skin and when it is bumped it leads to the shock-like feeling.

A tap to the right spot behind the elbow, the so-called funny bone, can cause pain and tingling sensations to shoot down your forearm. People often describe this sensation as an 'electric shock-like' pain typical of an irritated nerve.
