what are the cable things in the clutch cover

don't know that's why i'm asking :) I had the clutch cover off to replace the clutch and can't see on the inside where they terminate. they are located top of the cover midway. one of the clutch cover bolts is right behind it. they are literally right next to each other.
 
that makes sense, i'm still getting used to the transmission case and "engine block" being one in the same.
Thanks all!
