Wood frame construction: Two stories of dimension wood framing, shows studs at lower level supporting horizontal prefabricated wood trusses, which support subfloor above to form a floor platform. The framing for walls of that floor are then installed, and another set of trusses is placed on top of the double top plate of those stud walls to provide support for the subfloor of that next story. A variety of other details are also shown. Ann Arbor, Michigan 2004
Wood frame construction, window: Framing for wide window in load-bearing wall. The stud frame wall supports the ends of horizontal wood trusses that support the floor above. This load is carried above the window opening with a custom ordered timber header (horizontal beam). The lightweight aluminum sliding window has a gap between its top and the header, so if the header deflects it will not bind the top of the window. The header and its loads are supported by 3-2"x4" studs on both sides of the window. 

Otherwise, the wall framing is typical of any wall: two horizontal plates at the top of the wall and one at bottom, 2x4 vertical studs at 16" on centers. Ann Arbor, Michigan 2004
