The bladder expands when it is increasing in capacity. The more urine deposited in the bladder, the larger it will need to be in order to compensate. If the bladder gets too big, it will result in infection or an ulcer.
The trigone is a triangular area in the bladder where the ureters and urethra connect. It is located in the base of the bladder and is made up of smooth muscle that does not expand like the rest of the bladder. The trigone helps maintain the shape and support the function of the bladder.
Transitional epithelium is the epithelial tissue that has cells capable of changing shape when stretched (such as when the bladder is full) or contracted (when the bladder is empty). This type of epithelium allows for tissue expansion without losing its integrity.
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.
The urethra carries urine from the bladder to the opening of the urethra. It acts as a tube that allows urine to pass out of the body during urination.
Stratified transitional epithelium can typically be found lining areas of the body that are subject to stretching or expansion, such as the urinary bladder, ureters, and parts of the urethra.
The tissue that allows for the expansion of the lungs, arteries, and urinary bladder is called elastic connective tissue. This type of tissue is characterized by its ability to stretch and recoil, providing flexibility and support. Elastic connective tissue is categorized alongside adipose tissue as a form of connective tissue, though they serve different functions in the body.

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.
The wall of the urinary bladder consists of four main layers: the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and adventitia. The mucosa is lined with transitional epithelium that allows for expansion and contraction. Beneath this is the submucosa, which contains connective tissue that provides support. The muscularis layer, known as the detrusor muscle, consists of smooth muscle fibers arranged in multiple directions, facilitating the bladder's ability to contract during urination. The outermost layer, the adventitia, is made of connective tissue that anchors the bladder to surrounding structures.
Rugae are actually folds in the mucosa of the stomach and urinary bladder, not the kidney. Rugae in the stomach help with its expansion when it is full, while rugae in the bladder allow for stretching as it fills with urine.
The urinary bladder is located in front of the uterus in females. Anatomically, the bladder sits anterior to the uterus, which is positioned posterior to the bladder and supported by the pelvic floor. This arrangement allows for the bladder to fill and empty without significantly affecting the position of the uterus.
Water expands when it is heated, this expansion increases the pressure. The bladder tank absorbs the extra pressure, protecting the hot water heater.
Cystoscopy is the diagnostic procedure that allows for the visualization of the urinary bladder. It involves inserting a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) through the urethra to examine the bladder wall for abnormalities or conditions like inflammation, tumors, or stones.
