Jointing Quick question about joints and stringing

Hey again everyone! I have a quick question about how stringing actually works.. I need to get some clarification on it before I start sculpting and such. So basically I know how the process works, get a plan, make a styrofoam model, and wrap some clay over it. This is where I feel like it's a little blurry. Once all the parts are done, how would the stringing be able to hold a pose? An arm lifted or a foot bent at an angle while the doll is sitting? Do the joints have to have some sort of mechanism or be a little tight to do that?

I'm trying to get more info on this if it's something I should keep in mind while sculpting? I just can't grasp the idea of an empty doll doing that xD I know how dolls are strung and I know how to string them, I just find it different when its me trying to make the doll!

Thanks!
