The reason it's difficult to explain nowadays, is because in the past whereas these functions were segregated into different boxes, current devices perform many of these functions. It also seems like the word 'bridge' is on the way out. Bridges are not just for going from wired to wireless, they can also span different wired (or wireless) networks. In the real world, do most extenders and access points do the same things the same way? Who knows!
