Those are the names given to the two faces of a coin. From early days, coins had an image of important persons - kings, queens, emperors, on one face and that face was called heads. The reason for the other side being called "tails" is uncertain.
These are the only two outcomes of a coin being tossed. Although there is a non-zero probability of the coin falling and remaining on its edge, it is small enough to be ignored in practice.
