How does film works in an analog photographic camera?

Question by pcShots: How does film works in an analog photographic camera?
I have some knowledge about analog cameras, but I need some technical details:
- How does the camera detects the ISO of the film?
- How does the camera moves the film?
- How does the camera knows that it reached the end of the film?
I would apreciate if you give bibliography. :D Thanks!!
