hello bomberiffic.
well, in answer to one of your questions, it is not rididly: ors from mordor, uruk-hai from isengard and goblins from the north. Uruk hai (or uruks) were just a strong type of fighting orc, and both Saruman and Sauron used them. Orcs are twisted beings, first created by Morgoth, and then spread throughout middle-earth, inhabiting it where they could.
As for Goblins and orcs I think that the terms are intrchangeable. I think Tolkien states this or uses the terms interchangeably in one of his letters.
hope that answers some of your questions.
