I don't think there are any "industry standard" terms for them, but in 
regards to web traffic analysis programs, such as AWstats, the request 
for "/index.html" would be called a "Page Request" and the other 
elements would be called "Hits". A "Page Request" generally refers to 
the file that provides the HTML content of the page. A "Hit" refers to 
ANY file that is requested by the user (gif, png, css, swf, etc).
