Answer 1

This is not something that can be easily answered in a paragraph or two. You would do well to thoroughly read through Apple's Table View Programming Guide to understand how the UITableView and its data controller and delegate methods are used. This is an excellent overview of how this class works.

Answer 2

There are two properties in UITableView, that are called delegate and dataSource. They can be bind on any object that implements specific protocol (UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource). Second object (DataSource) is what you need. It has all the callbacks for populating table rows/sections.

By default these properties are bind to a UITableViewController instance. But you can change that.
