GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This tissue consists of multiple layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand in order to adapt to the degree of distension needed. Transitional epithelium lines the organs of the urinary system and is known here as urothelium. The bladder for example has a need for great distension.

Detailed explanation-2: -The inner lining of the urinary bladder is a mucous membrane of transitional epithelium that is continuous with that in the ureters. When the bladder is empty, the mucosa has numerous folds called rugae. The rugae and transitional epithelium allow the bladder to expand as it fills.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stratified transitional epithelium: This epithelium has several layers of epithelial cells. It is found lining surfaces of organs subjected to stretch, such as the bladder, the ureters and part of the urethra. Its allows for distension of the urinary organ.

Detailed explanation-4: -Urinary bladder and urethra are consisting of epithelium on the lumen surrounded by a collagen rich connective tissue and muscle layer. The epithelial layer serves as a barrier that prevents the urine from sweeping into the body cavity.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
