Q1: Are the bones of your arm fused together?

[Answer]

There are 206 bones in the body and they are attached to each other by joints.

A joint is a place where two or more bones meet.

Some joints like those in the skull and the pelvis are called fused joints. These are, however, the only bones that have interlocked together and cannot move. The other joints allow some amount of movement.
