∙ 9y agoUrinary bladder and ureter
Transitional epithelium is urinary epithelium; found in the lower urinary tract (ex urethra). Characterized by dome cells that are able to change (transition) from squamous when there is pressure from urine to dome cells when no pressure from urine.

∙ 8y agoThese cells appear to be cuboidal with a rounded surface when the organ or the tube in which they reside is not stretched. When the organ or tube is stretched (e.g. when the bladder is filled with urine), the tissue compresses and the cells become stretched. This tissue structure type is found in urothelium, including that of the urinary bladder, the ureters, and the superior urethra and gland ducts of the prostate.

What part of the urinary system contains transitional epithelium?
the ureter has three layers, transitional epithelium is one of them. the bladder also has transitional epithelium. In the urethra near the bladder it becomes transitional epithelium also. For those of you at Paris jr college, you can fine the on page 986-987 the 8th edition for A & P.
What is the only binucleated cell in human body?
there are binucleated cells in the liver and in the transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder
What type of epithelium covers the body and serves as protection for the body surface?
The type of epithelium that covers the body and provides protection for the body surface is stratified squamous epithelium. It is composed of multiple layers of flat cells that are tightly packed together, forming a barrier against mechanical damage, pathogens, and dehydration.
Which epithelial tissue has cells that can change shape when stretched versus contracted?
Transitional Epithelium
What is the function of transitional epithelium in the bladder?
Transitional epithelium consists of multiple layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand. Its primary function is to elongate when the bladder starts to fill, allowing an increase in bladder volume.
What type of cell lines the bladder?
stratified squamous and transitional epithelium
What is the type of epithelial tissues that contains cells that can change shape as the tissue streches?
Transitional epithelium cells can stretch. They can be found in organs that have the ability to stretch such as the bladder.
How does transitional epithelium differs structurally from other stratified squamous epithelium?
Transitional epithelium contains cells that are flattened and cells that are cuboidal; hence the name "transitional". Stratified squamous is different from transitional epithelium since the shape of the individual cell is more hexagonal and contains flattened cells. Transitional epithelium have the capacity to stretch and flatten.

Which type of epithelial tissue stretches and allows for your urinary bladder to expand as it fills with urine?
transitional epithelium
What type of epithelium lines the inner surface of the ureter?
transitional epithelium
An epithelium built to stretch is?
transitional
