The ball and socket joint allows free movement in all directions. If the neck had this type of joint, the spinal cord would not have the support and protection it would need.

Is there a pivot joint in your neck?
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.
