Head stud and Main stud

I'm getting ready to buy parts for my all-motor build, and my friend told me it would be a good idea to replace my head stud. I found the some arp head stub for a decent price, but I also saw some that were called main stud. My question is what is the difference between head stud and main stud?

His next question will be something like this " What are mains"...

Head Studs are used to fasten the head to the block/bottom end.
Main Studs are used to fasten the main caps down which hold your crank in place.
