ESXi Memory management concept

I'm confused of how do these terms related to each other:

memory Limits, memory Reservation, memory Guaranteed, memory available, memory in used and Memory Granted ?

Can anyone shed some light into this matter please ?

If you still need more information, there a paper from VMware. It has all information about Memory matrix.
