How are epithelail tissues named?

Epithelial tissues are named based on their shape (squamous, cuboidal, columnar) and arrangement (simple, stratified). For example, simple squamous epithelium consists of a single layer of flat cells, while stratified columnar epithelium has multiple layers of tall cells. Additional terms can be used to describe specific features, such as pseudostratified (appearing layered but all cells touch the basal lamina) or transitional (able to stretch and change shape).

How do transitional cells differ from epithelial cells?

Transitional cells are a type of specialized epithelial cells found in the urinary system that can stretch and change shape to accommodate urine volume fluctuations. Epithelial cells, on the other hand, are the general term used to describe the cells that line the surfaces and cavities of the body. Transitional cells are specifically adapted to handle the unique demands of the urinary system, while epithelial cells can be found throughout the body performing a variety of functions.
