There are two kinds of quarks (physicists call them flavors of quarks) that are found in normal matter. These are the UP quark and the DOWN quark. A proton, for example, is formed from two UP-type quarks and one DOWN-type quark while its slightly heavier cousin, the neutron, is formed from two DOWN-type quarks and one UP-type quark.
