Generally anode is described as an electrode where (Loss of electrons) Oxidation occurs. On the other hand, cathode is where (gain of electrons) reduction occurs. Both anode and cathode are dipped in electrolyte solution of their own respective ions (for instance Cu will be dipped in CuSO4 solution). The anode portion is oxidation half and cathode portion is reduction half. Both the half cell are separated from each other and connected via a salt bridge usually KCl solution so that the electical balance is maintained. I hope that helps.
