| tectorial membrane |
Found in the organ of Corti of the cochlea, this sheet of cells lies above the stereocilia of the hair cells. Movement of the basilar membrane (to which the hair cells are attached) causes the stereocilia to move against the tectorial membrane, initiating a nerve impulse that travels from the hair cell to the brain.
