Cubital Tunnel

The cubital tunnel is a channel which allows the Ulnar nerve (commonly known as the "funny bone") to travel over the elbow.

Chronic compression of this nerve is known as Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, a form of Repetitive Strain Injury akin to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (though now, the opinion over role of repetitive stress in causing carpal tunnel syndrome is divided).

Famous quotes containing the word tunnel:

    “The only way to find out anything about what kinds of lives people led in any given period is to tunnel into their records and to let them speak for themselves.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
