Difference between bridge and wireless access point?? vlsidesign 10-09-07

A bridge connects two different network segments (different IP address
network portion) together?

Whereas a Access point connects a wired network segment to wireless
nodes (has a WAN side and a wireless LAN side). Where the LAN side is
considered one network segment (one network segment between various
nodes that are on that one network segment)???? I believe the nodes
would have same IP address network segment, but different sub-nets.

I was confused, and was trying to get a good idea and definition in my
head. Anyway, I appreciate your time and any help, thanks :)
