Why are BJT operating modes named the way they are?


I know that a Bipolar Junction Transistor has four operating modes dictated by the base-collector junction and the base emitter junction's biasing:

What I can't seem to find is the reasoning behind the naming, as in why they are named that way. I have a feeling it has something to do w/ the diode model of the BJT:

and I know the basic operation of the diode, but can't make sense of this for some reason, and can't seem to find it on the 'net.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
