There is a main spar (lengthwise beam) and a front spar (leading edge) a number of ribs that run front to back of the wing and give the wing surface its shape and usually a spar nearing the training edge of the wing. The wing also has panels that move to bank the aircraft ....... on a small plane just one on each wing but on a high speed aircraft, often two .... one for low speed and one for high speed use. There are additional panels at the rear of each wing called flaps to change the airflow over the wing and thus lift and stalling speed. On some aircraft there are additional panels at the front of the wing that do the same when extended for low speed flight. Finally, there are often lift spoilers on the top of the wing which "spoil" lift when they are raised up ..... they also can act as speed brakes. The wing also holds fuel tanks and all of the necessary control lines to run all this stuff.
