Default Question about blitzing

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I grew up overseas and never had any access to organized football before college.

If a defense uses a 3-4 scheme, and rushes all three down lineman and one linebacker, is this a blitz? What about just rushing the 4 down lineman in a 4-3 scheme?

Is a blitz defined as sending more people than there are down lineman? Or just more than 4 players? Or just someone who isnt a down lineman?
