There are more than 8 parts of a yachtsman anchor. I will list them from the top. You take out the ones you do not need.
ring
head
ball
stock
(the key and key chain come here to hold stock)
shank, which may have a balancing band
crown
arm
fluke or palm
bill

1) The shank is the stem of the anchor in which direction is pulled to set (bury) the anchor.
2) The crown connects the various parts of the modern anchor.
3)The stock turns the anchor into an attitude that enables the flukes to dig into the sea bed.
4)The tripping ring is used for the optional tripping line: by pulling the tripping line, the anchor will break out.
5)The flukes will be buried into the seabed. The very tip of a fluke is sometimes called the bill.
