In areas subject to stretching such as urinary bladder.

Transitional epithelium has dome-shaped cells on its apical surface. It is a specialized type of epithelium found in organs that stretch, like the urinary bladder, and can transition between squamous and cuboidal shapes as the organ expands and contracts.
Transitional Epithelium permits expansion and recoil after stretching without damage. It's found in the urinary bladder, renal pelvis, and ureters. It's called transitional because the appearance of the epithelium changes as stretching occurs.

Simple squamous epithelium
Epithelium is a layer of animal tissue. It can be found in the lining of certain organs and glands in the body.
This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
Transitional epithelium (also known as urothelium) is a type of tissue consisting of multiple layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand. These cells, part of the epithelium, are found in the urinary bladder, in the ureters, and in the superior urethraand gland ducts of the prostate.
Simple epithelium is found lining surfaces where exchange of materials occur, such as the lining of blood vessels (endothelium), the alveoli of the lungs (alveolar epithelium), and the small intestine (simple columnar epithelium). It is also present in areas involved in absorption and secretion, like kidney tubules and the lining of the small intestine.
Transitional epithelium cells can stretch. They can be found in organs that have the ability to stretch such as the bladder.
No, cells of the esophageal epithelium are not ciliated. The esophagus is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, which lacks cilia. Cilia are more commonly found in respiratory epithelium to help move mucus and particles.
