Having an opposable thumb is unique.
Joints are able to move because of tendons that connect the bones of the joint together. Nerves tell the brain that the joint wants to move and the brain signals movement.
Muscles stabilize joint by supporting the movement of the joints. Joint in the bones are not able to move alone. The muscles support weight from applying pressure to the joint which protects the joint from damage.
Synarthrotic-These joints are "fiberous" and don't move a lot.Skeletal sutureAmphiarthrotic-This joint only permits slight movement. RibsDiarthrotic-Freely moveing joint.
A joint is the location at which two or more bones make contact.They are constructed to allow movement and provide mechanical support, and are classified structurally and functionally.so joints do not move, they allow movement.

An exercise like a bicep curl would be an example of a single joint movement. You can also move your thumb by the gliding joint that attaches it to the hand. I'm sure there are many others.

A flexor is a skeletal muscle whose contraction bends a joint. In anatomy, flexion is a position that is made possible by the joint angle decreasing. The skeletal (bones, cartilage, and ligaments) and muscular (muscles and tendons) systems work together to move the joint into a "flexed" position. ...

No. The shoulder joint is a ball socket. This allows the arms to move 360°. On the other hand, the hip can only swivel and rotate in place.
move your hand back and forth!

So many joints have little or no movement. The joints between skull bones are there, probably to allow the increase in the size of the head. No movement is needed there. Movement may be harmful there. Once the growth is complete, the bones frequently get fused there, in case of skull bones.
Opposing muscles use connective tissues to cause movement in a joint.
