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.)

Yes, the shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint. It is formed by the articulation between the head of the humerus (ball) and the glenoid cavity of the scapula (socket), allowing for a wide range of motion in multiple directions. However, this mobility also makes the shoulder prone to injury or instability.
