Detailed explanation-1: -Transitional epithelium can be distended or stretched.
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 primary function of transitional epithelium is to enable tissue to contract and expand. For example, the inner walls of the urinary bladder are lined with transitional epithelium, a tissue which enables the bladder to enlarge when the bladder is filled with urine.
