Network cards are used to connect a personal computer to a LAN. A computer with a network card can be a network participant.
Hubs are used to connect participants (PCs and other LAN devices).
Bridges are used to connect parts of LAN with each other. Possibly because they operate on a different medium (copper wire, glass fibre).
Routers are used to connect networks with each other (LANs with other LANs; LANs with the internet, etc.)
Switches are a mix between Hub and Bridge.
