What tissue serves as a transitional tissue between two types of tissues?

The tissue that serves as a transitional tissue between two types of tissues is called "transitional epithelium." This specialized type of epithelium is capable of stretching and is primarily found in the urinary bladder, where it allows for the expansion and contraction of the bladder as it fills and empties. Transitional epithelium provides a barrier while also accommodating fluctuations in volume, effectively bridging the characteristics of both stratified squamous and simple cuboidal epithelium.
