Transitional epithelium

Transitional epithelium, often called urinary epithelium, lines the urinary tract and, therefore, must undergo transitions between relaxation and distension. Thus, this epithelium varies between stratified cuboidal and stratified squamous. The dome-shaped cells at the surface of this stratified cuboidal epithelium are characteristic of the urinary bladder when it is not distended with urine. 1000x
