The cran is the part that together with the pedals go round when you pedal. For a 3-piece crank it consists of a right crank arm, left crank arm and the axle that goes between. There are some other bits as well, like bearinc cups ASO, but no point in letting reality get in the way of a good name. There are also ashtabula cranks where crank arms and axle are one solid piece.

There's one-piece cranks, where both arms and the axle are one solid piece, two piece cranks(one loose arm and one arm + axle) and three piece cranks(arm, arm and axle as separate items).
