Transitional epithelium cells can stretch. They can be found in organs that have the ability to stretch such as the bladder.
transitional epithelium
Transitional epithelium is the type of epithelial tissue that contains cells that can change shape as the tissue stretches. This type of tissue is found in organs like the bladder, where it needs to accommodate changes in volume without tearing.
The type of epithelial tissue that stretches to allow the bladder to hold urine is called transitional epithelium. This specialized tissue can change shape and accommodate varying volumes of urine, transitioning from a few layers of cells when the bladder is empty to several layers when it is full. Transitional epithelium is found lining the urinary bladder, ureters, and parts of the urethra, providing both flexibility and protection.
The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.

psuedostratified epithelium
Transitional epithelium lines the lumen of the ureter. The transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that has multiple layers of epithelial cells that can contract and expand.
Simple columnar tissue falls under larger group called epithelium.
