Figures include charts, graphs, drawings, photographs and other kinds of illustrations.
Images are a type of figure. They are visual depictions—e.g., photographs or computer-generated graphics.
Tables present numerical values/data or text in columns and rows.
At times the distinction between figures and tables can be unclear. Remember, tables are almost always displayed in column-row format. Any other illustration is referred to as a figure.
Number all tables sequentially as you refer to them in the text (Table 1, Table 2, etc.), likewise for figures (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.).
