When an indirect free kick is awarded, the referee will raise one arm straight up, similar to an Ice Hockey referee indicating a delayed penalty. The referee will maintain this position until the ball has been put in play and subsequently touched by another player or goes out of bounds. A goal cannot be scored while the referee's arm is in the air for this reason. The arm acts as a visual reminder that the free kick is indirect.
Direct free kicks do not have any sort of arm-raised signal. After the kick is awarded, generally by pointing to the spot of the ball and the direction of travel, the referee will lower his arms, take a good position to monitor the ensuing play, and wait with arms down.

What is an illegal touching using your arm in soccer?
Using the arm to [deliberately] touch the ball is called deliberate handling and is a direct free kick offense. If a player commits a direct free kick offense within their own penalty area, then the direct free kick becomes a penalty kick. Note that goal keepers are immune to this particular offense within their own penalty area.

Is it a legal play for an offensive player to stiff arm a defensive player on their helmet or face mask?
Yes it is. Some may claim that it is a offensive foul, but one can 'stiff arm' the defender to a certain degree. The refs will call it if the 'stiff arm' was somehow unfair or too much.
How long does a soccer referee have to hold his arm up during a indirect free kick?
When the referee awards an indirect free kick, the raised arm is held from the moment the call is made (or, starting when the whistle is blown to indicate the kick may proceef if it i ceremonial) until th ball has been been put into play and has touched a player other than the kicker. If done properly, this means that a goal cannot be scored while the referee's hand is still raised.
What is the signal for an indirect free kick?
Play will be stopped, usually with a whistle. The referee will immediately indicate a direction with his arm extended up at a 45 degree angle. Once the ball is placed, the referee will then hold his arm straight up until the ball leaves the field of play or another player touches it after the kick. A direct free kick will omit the "arm straight up" part.

Why are there more indirect- that is tendinous- muscle attachments to bone than there are direct attachments?
Tendons are very flexible, and also very resistant to extension. If arm muscle tissue was directly attached to the bone, then extreme movements would very easily tear the tissues and damage the muscle.
