Cams?

Ok, I feel sort or ridiculous asking these questions, but here it goes:

What is the difference between a Hydraulic Cam, Roller Cam,and Hydraulic roller Cam?
What type of lifters can be used with these various types of cams?

I had to ask, I've looked around and for the life of me can not find what the differences are, it's almost like everyone automatically knows this info.
Clue me in, please?!
