Transitional epithelium consists of multiple layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand. Its primary function is to elongate when the bladder starts to fill, allowing an increase in bladder volume.

∙ 9y agoThat transitional epithelium of the urinary tract stretches to allow filling of bladder and ureters. The Junctions involved are tight Junctions that form a virtually impermeable barrier to fluid. The transitional epithelium has the ability to slide over one another, which decreases the thickness of the mucosa layer as the bladder fills.

What part of the urinary system contains transitional epithelium?
the ureter has three layers, transitional epithelium is one of them. the bladder also has transitional epithelium. In the urethra near the bladder it becomes transitional epithelium also. For those of you at Paris jr college, you can fine the on page 986-987 the 8th edition for A & P.
Where would you find Transitional epithelium stretches and recoils would be found in the?
Transitional epithelium stretches and recoils would be found in lines of the ureters, urinary bladder, as well as part of the urethra.
What tissues make up the bladder?
Pseudostratified. The bladder is the only organ with that type of tissue. The answer above is wrong! the urinary bladder is composed of transitional epithelium with an underlying connective tissue. the transitional epithelium allows the bladder t expand in order to fill it with urine and relax when urine is released.
What is the only binucleated cell in human body?
there are binucleated cells in the liver and in the transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder
What forms stretchy ligaments?
That would be transitional epithelium. Transitional Epithelium is specialized to change in response to increased tension. It forms the inner lining of the urinary bladder and lines the ureters, and part of the urethra. It protects and has distensibility.
What type of cell lines the bladder?
stratified squamous and transitional epithelium

Which type of epithelial tissue stretches and allows for your urinary bladder to expand as it fills with urine?
transitional epithelium
What is the lining of the bladder?
The bladder is the only organ which features pseudostratified tissue.
What Epithelial tissue that's found in bladder lining?
The urinary bladder and ureters are lined with transitional epithelium. This tissue allows the bladder to stretch when full and contract when empty. It looks like cuboidal epithelium when the bladder is contracted, and like stratified epithelium when distended.
What is the type of epithelial tissues that contains cells that can change shape as the tissue streches?
Transitional epithelium cells can stretch. They can be found in organs that have the ability to stretch such as the bladder.
What is the function of transition?
Transitional epithelium consists of multiple layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand. Its primary function is to elongate when the bladder starts to fill, allowing an increase in bladder volume.
What tissue forms the inner lining of the urinary bladder?
transitional epithelium
What type epithelium tissue stretches?
Transitional epithelium cells can stretch. They can be found in organs that have the ability to stretch such as the bladder.
What two urinary bladder structures allow for expansion?
rugae and transitional epithelium
Where would you find Transitional epithelium stretches and recoils would be found in the?
Transitional epithelium stretches and recoils would be found in lines of the ureters, urinary bladder, as well as part of the urethra.
Does the stomach have transitional epithelium?
Transitional epithelim lines hollow organs that expand from within including the bladder and the stomach.
