All clarinets consist of five major parts:
The mouthpiece with the reed - here the tone is created. The mouthpiece is usually made of hard rubber (ebonite), plastic, glass or crystal, sometimes of metal. The reed is fixed onto the mouthpiece with a ligature that uses screws or a simple cord (on the German style instruments).
Clarinet - its parts
The barrel or socket - usually the instrument comes with two, one that is a little longer and one that is a little shorter. This is used to finetune the instrument and to adapt it to the player and the orchestra's pitch.
The upper joint with the keys for the left hand
The lower joint with the keys for the right hand - both parts could be made from one piece, but having them as two parts makes it easier to handle, to transport and to repair
The bell - it is responsible for the sound of the lowest tone

agree  Björn Vrooman: Or use a visual dictionary: "Single-reed instrument consisting of a cylindrical tube...and a flared bell." http://www.visualdictionaryonline.com/arts-architecture/musi... (your link is better, though) Also: Google Images. Not hard.
