What does resistor do?

What do the little squiggly resistor wires on the inside of the heater box do? (I'm assuming that's what they are- they were called resistor wires by someone on another board)

yup...that's all they do...the thinner ones with more twists offer more resistance= lower speeds...thicker= higher speeds..
