Yes, but your question is kinda vague.
The keep is the main building of a castle, It usually contains the royal residences, a chapel, an armory & kitchens.
The keep was usually surrounded by several courtyards divided by walls . These courtyards could contain anything from gardens , stables & livery ,to markets & homes. Along the walls were gatehouses and towers that would give the gaurds good visual coverage of the areas. Some castles also had moats or pits surrounding the walls.
If you have a more specific question please ask.

ramparts = the towers that knights fired down from along the walls of the castle
moat= the trench or river that runs around the outside of a castle
the keep= large open area often where animals were kept
all i can think of right now...

Don't forget the stables and the storerooms. Alo- there were usually towers or turrets which contained the bedrooms.
