The extractor assembly and the firing pin catch pin assembly are held in the rear of the slide near the safety lever. The firing pin (technically called a firing pin catch pin) itself is housed inside the firing pin catch pin assembly; the other components of the assembly are the firing pin catch, and the firing pin catch spring. The extractor is housed in the extractor assembly; the other components of the assembly are the extractor pin, and the extractor spring.

It is like this- To find out what the proper name is I would suggest that you find some one who take some one apart and puts them back together and explains what they are doing. Youtube is one such source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCBqWDeDg4I
