In pumps. Flexible impeller of cooling system pump of an outboard engine. An impeller is a rotating component of a centrifugal pump, usually made of iron, steel, bronze, brass, aluminium or plastic, which transfers energy from the motor that drives the pump to the fluid being pumped by accelerating the fluid outwards from the center of rotation.
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.
Through the dorsal root, pseudounipolar sensory axons continue, exclusively, from the nerve, to the spinal cord, entering the spinal cord along the cord's dorsolateral surface. The dorsal root ganglion contains the cell bodies of these pseudounipolar sensory neurons.hese axons originate at the cell bodies in the spinal cord and pass through the ventral root, exclusively, before entering the mixed nerve. The cell bodies of the pseudounipolar sensory neurons located in the dorsal root ganglion are conspicuous spherical structures.
