What measurement system often uses body parts for a substitute of measurements?
The cubit was the first documented record of a specified length, and was the length of an average forearm of a person. Joints of fingers gave "inch" its standard length, and the height of horses is still measured in "hands." Measurement of lengths and heights arose from body parts, as these were standard things that people carried around with them. No set "system" in particular exists for the use of these standards, but many standards we have today were derived from them.
