The elbow is a joint, not a bone. The elbow is formed when the humerus' trochlea (a sort of "bar" at the end of it) is attached to the trochlear (or semilunar) notch of the ulna. The olecranon on the ulna forms the hard armour-like plate on the elbow joint.
The ulna is one of two bones in your lower arm and it forms what might be called the elbow. A nerve runs very close by called the ulnar nerve. Bumping the nerve causes what we say is our 'funny' bone.
