I am not sure what the question is. If there was an injury and the elbow needs to be immobolized a sling is the best option. If the questions is regarding the structure of our body, the elbow joint, along with other structures is connected to a bone called the humerus; the humerus, with many other structures is connected to the shoulder joint.
The elbow and shoulder can be considered part of the muscular system or the skeletal system.
The elbow is an example of a hinge joint or a joint moving in one direction, permitting only flexion and extension. The shoulder (or humeroscapular) joint is formed by the articulation of the head of the humerus with the scapula.
Distal
Elbow joint.
The joint between the shoulder and the wrist is the elbow.
The joints that the biceps are working with are the elbow joint and the shoulder joint.
1. Shoulder joint is a synovial(ball and socket) joint. Whereas Elbow is a synovial(hinge) joint 2.Shoulder posses 3 degrees of freedom i.e Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotations. Elbow have 1 degrees of freedom i.e flexion and extension 3.Difference of special structures i.e bursae 4.Shoulder is highly mobile than elbow
That is flexion and extension at shoulder joint.
Elbow joint.
The shoulder is called the glenohumeral joint, and the wrist is the radiocarpal joint but the elbow is pretty much just called the elbow.
The joint between the shoulder and the wrist is the elbow.
A joint that permits movement. Such as shoulder, hip, elbow, knee.

No; the elbow has a hinge joint, but does not have a ball and socket joint.
The joint where the humerus meets the shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint. The joint where the humerus meets the ulna (the elbow) is a hinge joint.

Joint Laxity
That is flexion and extension at shoulder joint.
It would seem that it would be called that but when dealing with the arms and legs, the positional anatomy only involves the attachment to the body. We use proximal and distal and not inferior and superior. The point of attachment (POT) is the shoulder joint. Since the elbow is further away from the POT, is said to be distal. And the shoulder joint is proximal to the elbow. You must always use two things to compare. In this case the elbow and the shoulder.
