I think most of the question has already been asked in the title.

Being more specific, I wanted real examples of using these techniques and the relationship between them.

Note: I read other related answers, but I could not understand 100%.

Anonymous functions and closures are very distinct elements, but basically anonymous functions are functions that do not have a name (it seems obvious) and this allows a huge ease in the implementation of callbacks

Closures have to do with the scope / scope of a variable, very useful for resolving the sending of parameters to event functions using functions that return a function.
