the inner ear. In tectorial restraint systems, the tectorial membrane restrains the
cilia of the hair cells by attaching either directly to ciliary tufts or indirectly
through various kinds of fibrous structure (simple fibers, fibrous strands, finger-like
processes, tectorial plates). [Phylogenetic Relationships of the Lizard Families:
