An uncle on your mother's side would be a maternal uncle, where an uncle on your father's side would be a paternal uncle. However, in most cases, English speakers do not make a distinction, calling the brother of either parent simply an uncle.

Your aunts and uncles are the sisters and brothers of your parents. So they are "blood related." But you also call the husband of your mother's sister your uncle, and he is not "blood related." So aunts and uncles are not always really related to you.
