MITM attack, Replay Attack, TCP Session Hijacking

Question

I was going over the internet reading about types of attacks on a computer system and I can not differentiate between MITM, Replay and TCP Session Hijacking.
They appear to be the same.
Sniff the data , change it , retransmit.
Please let me know if they are the same or different.

Replay attacks and Session hijacking are two types of Man In The Middle attack. MITM is the set, the other two are subsets.

You can be a man in the middle doing an attack on VoIP, some kinds of cryptography, etc.
