If you count the true arm: The shoulder has a ball and socket joint.
The elbow has a hinge joint (ulna) and a pivot joint (radius).
If you count the forearm:
The forearm has a fibrous joint (syndesmosis) between the radius and ulna.
The wrist is a very complex set of joints, if I remember correctly they are mostly saddle joints and gliding joints.
