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.

Transitional epithelium (also known as urothelium) is a type of tissue consisting of multiple layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand. The flexibility is needed to function and protect the body
That 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.
an example would be the transitional epithelium of the bladder, which expand and change shape depending on how much urine is in the bladder.
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.
Transitional epithelium stretches and recoils would be found in lines of the ureters, urinary bladder, as well as part of the urethra.
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.
there are binucleated cells in the liver and in the transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder
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.
stratified squamous and 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.
transitional epithelium
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.
The bladder is the only organ which features pseudostratified tissue.
Transitional epithelium cells can stretch. They can be found in organs that have the ability to stretch such as the bladder.

rugae and transitional epithelium
Transitional epithelium stretches and recoils would be found in lines of the ureters, urinary bladder, as well as part of the urethra.
Transitional epithelim lines hollow organs that expand from within including the bladder and the stomach.
