Now, your arm cant move up and down without joints. The joint in your arm in known as a hinge joint. It permits movement in and out. Another joint is a ball and socket joint. This is found in your shoulder. It permits movement in a circular motion. This is how a joint helps the skeletal system move. Hope it helped :)
