Wizer,
I'm no joiner, but I can tell you the the meaning of a few terms.
Jamb - (the b is silent - not sure why it's there)
The Vertical piece of wood, nailed or bolted to the brickwork, on which the door is hung.
Head - the horizontal piece of wood across the top, between the two jambs.
Some doors also have a frame in their structure. It usually consists of stiles and rails and braces, and this frame is then clad with T&G.
I bet there are better joiners on here who can give you more info.
