Stratified squamous epithelium consists of multiple layers of flat cells and is primarily found in areas subject to abrasion, such as the skin and the lining of the mouth. In contrast, transitional epithelium is unique to the urinary system, characterized by its ability to stretch and change shape, featuring dome-shaped cells that can flatten when the bladder is full. Additionally, transitional epithelium typically appears thicker and more irregular compared to the more uniform appearance of stratified squamous epithelium.
