Default How is a floor in a house held up?

I was just wondering about this.

What holds the floor to the brickwork?

Does it rest on some bricks which 'stick out'?

Or are there 'holes' in the wall where wooden joists are slotted in?

Actually I think I may have seen pictures of such hole on old historic ruins
etc.

Such as here for example

I would imagine on a 'two brick' wall or cavity wall it would rest on the
inner wall?
