MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Transitional epithelium is a stratified tissue made of multiple cell layers, where the cells constituting the tissue can change shape depending on the distention in the organ. When the organ is filled with fluid, cells on the topmost layer of this epithelium can stretch and appear flattened.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lining epithelium: The urinary bladder lining is a specialized stratified epithelium, the urothelium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your urothelium stretches in your bladder as it fills with urine. Urothelial cells are stacked and cube-shaped when not stretched. They flatten and spread out when your bladder fills and expands. Due to its shape-altering ability, your urothelium is sometimes called the transitional epithelium.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transitional epithelium has the ability to stretch; it usually lines the interior of organs such as the bladder.
