The list of Vitruvius is as follows:

a palm is the width of four fingers
a foot is the width of four palms
a cubit (measurement compared to one’s forearm length) is the width of six palms
a pace is four cubits
a man’s height is four cubits (and thus 24 palms)
“erit eaque mensura ad manas pansas” (Literally: “It will be the same in measure to the spread out hands.”)
the length of a man’s outspread arms (arm span) is equal to his height
the distance from the hairline to the bottom of the chin is one-tenth of a man’s height
the distance from the top of the head to the bottom of the chin is one-eighth of a man’s height
the distance from the bottom of the neck to the hairline is one-sixth of a man’s height
the maximum width of the shoulders is a quarter of a man’s height (one cubit)
the distance from the middle of the chest to the top of the head is a quarter of a man’s height (one cubit)
the distance from the elbow to the tip of the hand is a quarter of a man’s height (one cubit)
the distance from the elbow to the armpit is one-eighth of a man’s height (half a cubit)
the length of the hand is one-tenth of a man’s height
the distance from the bottom of the chin to the nose is one-third of the length of the head
the distance from the hairline to the eyebrows is one-third of the length of the face
the length of the ear is one-third of the length of the face
the length of a man’s foot is one-sixth of his height

“Leonardo’s famous drawings of the Vitruvian proportions of a man’s body first standing inscribed in a square and then with feet and arms outspread inscribed in a circle provides an excellent early example of the way in which his studies of proportion fuse artistic and scientific objectives. It is Leonardo, not Vitruvius, who points out that ‘If you open the legs so as to reduce the stature by one-fourteenth and open and raise your arms so that your middle fingers touch the line through the top of the head, know that the centre of the extremities of the outspread limbs will be the umbilicus, and the space between the legs will make and equilateral triangle’ (Accademia, Venice). Here he provides one of his simplest illustrations of a shifting ‘centre of magnitude’ without a corresponding change of ‘centre of normal gravity’. This remains passing through the central line from the pit of the throat through the umbilicus and pubis between the legs. Leonardo repeatedly distinguishes these two different ‘centres’ of a body, i.e., the centers of ‘magnitude’ and ‘gravity (Keele 252).”
