What's the difference between @Component, @Repository & @Service annotations in Spring?

Can @Component, @Repository, and @Service annotations be used interchangeably in Spring or do they provide any particular functionality besides acting as a notation device? In other words, if I have a Service class and I change its annotation from @Service to @Component, will it still behave the same way? Or does the annotation also influence the behavior and functionality of the class?
