What is the difference between JTAG uart and the uart (RS-232) serial ?

I know the use of UART RS 232 for transmitting serial data, but JTAG ? and I can see most of designs are using JTAG on Qsys not RS-232 . thanks in advance

okay, does this means that USB-blaster and JTAG UART are two cores that allows a host computer to access the FPGA kit ?

because on my FPGA kit I have USB-blaster and JTAG UART pins, are they both work for hosting a computer ?

Thanks
