The serpentine belt runs from the crankshaft pulley to all the units that need to be turned, alternator, Power Steering, water pump, etc. There is one pulley that is spring loaded that keeps the correct tension on the belt. That is the tensioner pulley. That can be moved to release the tension on the belt so that the belt can be removed.
