Reading quotes on Yahoo Finances?

When I go to Yahoo Finances and do a Historical Price on Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) it has six headings at the top, which are: Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, and Adj Close. What do these headings mean when trying to read a quote? I get these headings after I chose a starting date and an end date.

Open, when the session opened on WS.
High, higest of the day
Low, lowest of the day
Close, when the session closed (the only important one)
Volume, total of share exchanged
and Adj Close, adjusted with dividends, as if the dividend was included in the price.
