A press fit joint is located in the inside. This is what brings the joints together.
What are the types of rotary joints?
There are four main types of rotary joints. They are: proximal radioulnar joint, distal radioulnar joint, median atlanto-axial joint, and the head. These joints only promote rotation as opposed to all directions of movement.
Is elbow proximal the wrist?
No. The wrist is DISTAL to the elbow. The radius and the ulna ( your forearm ) are what separates the elbow joint from the carpals, and the metacarpals, which is your wrist.
Which joint is the radius part of?
The radius and its companion bone the ulna form the forearm and are part of, or connect to, the wrist (radiocarpal joint) at the distal end and elbow (radioulnar joint) at the proximal end.
What are the function of bicep?
The biceps brachii muscle controls three joints, the elbow, shoulder, and the proximal radioulnar joint, which allows the palm to be turned upwards.

What joint connects the arm to the hand?
There are a couple that I can think of:1) Between the hand and the arm is the wrist, which is actually made of Radial-Carpal joints and intercarpal joints.2) The radioulnar joint, of which there are 2:1 - The distal radioulnar joint is formed between the head of the ulna and the ulnar notch on the distal radius2 - The proximal radioulnar joint may be considered part of the elbow, but is actually where the radial head articulates with the radial notch of the ulna.
What is radioulnar joints and which type of movement occurs?
The proximal and distal are pivot synovial while the middle is syndesmosis/fibrous

What joint moves the arm at the elbow?
The elbow joint is its own joint, Latin Articulation Cubiti. It's a synovial hinge joint connected with a radioulnar joint.
What is the proximal end?
