about the 3-5 defense?

i jusst want to know a little bit more about the 3-5 defense tht my team is running. i understand what the line is supposed to look like but i dont understand what the rest of the players are supposed to be doing. i get the main idea of what the linebackers do but i dont know about the defensive ends, corners and safety, if there is one..

Update:

there arent five linebackers. there are three and then two players off to the sides of them, im assuming that they're defensive ends but im not sure.

    No teams uses 5 linebackers unless they are playing the 1-5-5.

    if it was 5-3 then that means 5 lineman, but 3-5 is 5 linebackers.
