here's the definition:

Studs are boards that function as framing elements in your home, supporting the walls. They're spaced either 16 or 24 inches on-center (measured from center to center) along the wall and run between the floor and ceiling. Drywall or lath (for plaster walls) is attached to the edge of the studs.
