There isn't a single funny bone in the human body but a couple are humerus

[shimaren]

So when he pointed out the ulnar nerve I traced it with my eye while feeling my elbow and then accidentally hit the damn nerve with my thumb like an utter dumbass

[chonghao]

im going to graduate on youtube by watching this and no one can stop me

[saanjalyvaishnav]

did anyone else get placebo tingles when Jonathan was handling the nerve?

[dowfreak]

When he started talking about "sleeping on your arm like a dumbass", I almost felt personally called out, watching this like half an hour after I woke up in pain after sleeping on my arm.

Heads are stupidly heavy.

[bigsuthernman]

I like how they just left the elbow skin on the arm

Jonathan's humour really helps....it eases understanding of complex human anatomy and by the end of the video I "actually learn n memorize a lot"....his way of teaching is seamless and easy-to-follow. Plus the way he explains "actual meaning" behind difficult human anatomy names....thank you, we are truly grateful.

I thought it was called the funny bone cuz everyone else laughs when you hit it.

[Parapresdokian]

I need a teacher like you.

Not only me. My entire country.

I just found this channel. This guy doesn't look a day over 21 but does an excellent job of communicating complex facts.

[FANGwoof]

Is nobody talking about how Geoffrey probably had one hell of a jaw when he was alive?

Where I am from (Carinthia, Austria) this particular part of the body is called "tamisches Aderle" which, if you translate it means "crazy vein"

[annadonovan]

Fun fact. I no longer have a funny bone! Its been relocated to a different part of my arm after a severe injury. 5 surgeries and permanent nerve damage later....now when I hit what should be my funny bone, it's an unexpressable hollow pain that makes me feel nauseous.Thank you so so so much for this video! This is huge for someone like me.

This guy explains everything clearly and so good 👍

Don’t ignore numbness in those fingers! I started having pain in my right elbow when I was doing weighted dips (weightlifting), and the elbow would often make snapping noises. I also often sleep with my elbow bent, and I read books on my phone with the right elbow bent sharply.

My hand started “falling asleep”. I ignored it. Then I started losing sensation in the ring and pinky. I “shook it off”. When I started losing dexterity in the hand, I finally went to the doc. The ulnar nerve was in bad shape at the elbow tunnel, and I had to have a transposition.

That was seven years ago. The sensation came back rapidly, and some of the dexterity and strength, but I still don’t have good adductor function between the index and middle finger, and the muscle in the webbing of the right hand between the thumb and index finger is atrophied to the point that it appears to be gone completely; it does work, but it’s very weak.

Don’t ignore the signs !!

I would like to see a video comparing the muscles of a buff person vs a weak person, could be really interesting I think

[awfulbox]

[ceestudy]
