Question 18Thehumerus(/hjumrs/, Plural:humeri) is along bonein thearmorforelimb that runs from theshoulderto theelbow. It connects thescapulaand the two bones of the lower arm, theradiusandulna, and consists of three sections.

For most of its length, the ulnar nerve is protected, like rest of the body's nerves, by bones, muscles and/or ligaments. As the nerve passes the elbow, though, it runs through a channel called the cubital tunnel, and here it's protected only by skin and fat, making it vulnerable to bumps. When you hit it, you're actually hitting the nerve against bone and compressing it. The result is an exhilarating cocktail of numbness, tingling and pain that shoots through the areas where the nerve does its work: down the forearm and hand and into the ring and pinky fingers.
