The A64 will probably confuse me a little bit, but hey, let's not sweat the small stuff here! ^^
We’ll come back to the A64 in due time. 
In the meantime, don’t hesitate to tell us what body part you would compare each Ariane 5 propulsion stage to! We’d love to know, Ute.

That's a tough one, really, as there is no true equivalent in function & position. One could at best compare them to joints like knee, hip, and perhaps the (curved) spine - the stuff that allows you to jump and lift off. But even that would be pretty inaccurate and misleading. :)

Yes, we tried a different approach for this question, sometimes creativity helps to understand complex technologies, don’t you think?
