A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. The median only bisects the vertex angle from which it is drawn when it is an isosceles triangle.
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
A line through the vertex and the side opposite - nothing more. There need not even be a side opposite - as is the case with a square!

An angle comprises to rays meeting at a vertex. An angle bisector is a straight line through the vertex which bisects the angle.
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and bisects the side of the triangle opposite the vertex.
