The cylinder head is a smaller block that (generally) sits on the top of the crankcase. It is the part of the engine where air is received and mixed with fuel, then passed into the block for the intake/compression/combustion cycle and then directs it out on the exhaust cycle. On OHC/OHV (OverHead Cam/OverHead Valve) engines, the cylinder head contains, at least, - with many more possibilities - the intake and exhaust valves (one or more of each per cylinder), the camshaft(s), either a belt or chain for timing the cams and valves to the movement of the pistons, fuel injectors (if present), and various types of apparatus to operate the opening and closing of the valves including mechanical or hydraulic systems for valve movement and sensors such as a MAF (Mass Air Flow), PCV (Portioning Control Valve), and/or EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve.
The head gasket is the gasket that goes between the cylinder head and the crankcase or block of the engine.

Why does headgasket blow?
I interpret your question to be: Why do head gaskets (on an engine) blow-out? There can be several problems: The engine head itself might have been tightened incorrectly (misstorqued). This can happen when the engine was first assembled or after a repair. When this happens the pressure on the gasket in not even and not tight enough in places, so the gas pressure of the engine finds the weak spot. The gasket might be defective. Most gaskets have multiple layers bonded together. If the bonding is not correct or a gasket layer was misscut, again, the gas pressure will find the weak spot. The engine head or cylinder block could be warped. This can happen when an engine severely overheats. The two components will not bed the gasket properly and the result can be a blown gasket. The gasket could have simply worn out. They do have a life expectancy and require replacement when the engine ages.
