Detailed explanation-1: -When the urinary bladder fills with urine, the bladder wall stretches to accommodate the increased volume. In the distended bladder, the urothelium reorganizes into two or three layers without any structural damage. Due to this transitional ability of the urothelium, it is also known as the transitional epithelium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transitional epithelium: A transitional epithelium (also known as urothelium) is made up of several layers of cells that become flattened when stretched. It lines most of your urinary tract and allows your bladder to expand.
Detailed explanation-3: -The transitional epithelium, also known as the urothelium, lines the urethra, ureters, and urinary bladder. The transitional epithelium that lines the prostatic urethra of the male reproductive system is connected with the urothelium of the urinary bladder.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The bladder is lined with transitional epithelial cells because the properties of a transitional epithelium allow the bladder to expand as it fills without damaging the bladder lining.
Detailed explanation-5: -The urothelium is the inner lining of the bladder. It is made up of urothelial cells (also called transitional cells). The urothelium is also called the transitional epithelium. The lamina propria (also called the submucosa) is a thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds the urothelium.
