ITIL v3 has 26 processes, which have been segregated into five process areas service strategy, service design, service transition, service operations, and continual service improvement.

The process is a sequence of activities with inputs, triggers, and outputs and delivers specific outcomes to the customer.

The function is a team or a group of people who perform a set of activities.
ITIL v3 defines four functions of Service Desk, Application management, Technical Management, and Operations Management.

P.S - It is incorrect to dismiss the ITIL V3 processes as no longer relevant. AXELOS state that the new ITIL 4 does not invalidate the earlier ITIL V3 (2011) core publications. (Reference: ITIL Process Map for ITIL 4)
