What is the difference between HP 88XL High Yield Magenta Original Ink Cartridge (C9392AN) and HP 88 Magenta and Cyan Original Printhead (C9382A)?

I understand the first product is only Magenta and he second is Magenta and Cyan - what I am interested to know, does the second product include something (i.e. Printhead) in addition to the Ink Cartridge and what exactly is the Printhead.

Also, I'd like to know if there is instructions for replacing the Printhead?
