There are two joints between the forearm bone and wrist:
the midcarpal jointthe radiocarpal jointthe radiocarpal joint is the first from the forearm.condyloid joint
If the joint between your arm and shoulder was not a ball and socket joint, you could not be able to move your arm. Ball and socket joints allow you to move in most directions. Because of this, you can move your arm up, down, side to side, front and back, and around in a circle. The ball and socket joint is one of the four major kinds of movable joints. (The four major joints are ball and socket joints, gliding joints, hinge joints, and pivotal joints in case you didn't know.)
The upper arm is the humerus, the lower arm is made up of the radius and ulna. The joint connecting the upper is called the humeroulnar joint.
Anatomically speaking, it is a synovial joint. Physiologically speaking, it is a hinge joint.
It's a 'hinge' joint - it can only move in two directions (forward and back).
The scapula and the upper arm bone meet at the glenohumeral joint, also known as the shoulder joint. This joint allows for a wide range of motion, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation of the arm.
One type is a ball and socket joint that connects your arm and shoulder
the ball-and-socket joint
The ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder allows the upper arm to be raised and lowered.
The "Elbow" is the joint of your arm.

The elbow joint works with your upper arm muscles to open and close the refrigerator door. When you extend your arm to pull the door open or flex your arm to push it closed, the elbow joint facilitates these movements.
If the joint between your arm and shoulder was not a ball and socket joint, you could not be able to move your arm. Ball and socket joints allow you to move in most directions.

Ball and socket joint The arm movement is possible because of ball and socket joint.
The ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder allows the upper arm to be raised and lowered.
The upper arm is the humerus, the lower arm is made up of the radius and ulna. The joint connecting the upper is called the humeroulnar joint.
it's called an elbow.The joint in the middle of the arm is the elbow.elbowThe joint that is used when bending the elbow is aSynovial Joint.A considerable amount of movement is permitted a all synovial joints and types are subdivided according to the movements.The elbow would be specifically considered a Hinge Joint: This type permits movement in one plane only. The movements are flexion and extension. Other examples of hinge joints are knee, ankle interphalangeal joints of the fingers and toes.* so its a synovial joint...but a Hinge joint type...other types are ball and socket eg: hip etc.Hope it helps :)
The forearm is from the wrist to the elbow.The upper arm is from the shoulder to the elbow.They meet at the elbow.cts and carots yay!
