In the tab specified tools are grouped in the panels.that are used time to time and other tabs that are automatically active when we use specific operations. In the same way there are other tabs like sketching, Inspect, Tools, Manage View Environment, etc.For an example in this 3D modeling Tab most frequently used features and operation like,2D or 3D sketch, Extrude, Revolve, Sweep Loft, Fillet, Holes etc.These are tabs where different types of tools are grouped.

Here also you can add additional items according to your preference.

This is called Quick Access Toolbar where frequently used operations can be found.
