Part of the elbow is a ball and socket joint, but the elbow is made up of three different kinds of joint.
- The first joint is between the Humerus (bone of the upper arm) and the Ulna (the larger of the two forearm bones) which is a Hinge Joint. Hinge joints allow for movement along one plane. In the arm, this allows the movement used when a person touches their shoulder with the hand of the same arm.
- The second joint is between the Humerus and the Radius (the smaller of the two forearm bones) and this is a ball and socket joint.
- The third joint is between the Radius and the Ulna and this is a pivot joint. A pivot joint allows rotation of a joint, in the arm this allows the movement used when turning the palms upwards or downwards.
