an access point and a wireless access point are the same thing.
A AP/WAP connects to network via hardwire, and acts as a bridge (change in physical medium) on your network to the wireless clients.
An extender acts as both a wireless client (to connect to your network) and as an access point (to rebroadcast your signal). Not really a bridge in a pure network sense (physical media is still wireless) but it is on a different channel so kinda a bridge.
