In pumps. Flexible impeller of cooling system pump of an outboard engine.

noun, plural: dorsal root ganglia. (neuroanatomy) The ganglion on the dorsal root of every spinal nerve. It is where the cell bodies of sensory neurons are located; hence, it is chiefly involved in the transmission of sensory information.
The dorsal root ganglia next to the spinal cord are involved with sensory function. The autonomic nervous system has autonomic ganglia that can be further divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia. The axons of neurons are typically grouped together to form nerve trunks. There are connective tissue layers that surround the peripheral nerves.
