  2. Transitional epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitional_epithelium

    Transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that changes shape in response to stretching (stretchable epithelium). The transitional epithelium usually appears cuboidal when relaxed and squamous when stretched. [1] This tissue consists of multiple layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand in order to adapt to the degree of ...

    Cuboidal epithelium has cells whose height and width are approximately the same (cube shaped). Columnar epithelium has cells taller than they are wide (column-shaped). Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels , [ 1 ] forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and ...

  6. Ureter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ureter

    The ureter is lined by urothelium, a type of transitional epithelium that is capable of responding to stretches in the ureters. The transitional epithelium may appear as a layer of column-shaped cells when relaxed, and of flatter cells when distended. Below the epithelium sits the lamina propria. The lamina propria is made up of loose ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_cuboidal_epithelium

    Stratified cuboidal epithelium, highlighting the nucleuses, the rest of the epithelial cells, and underlying connective tissue. Stratified cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue composed of multiple layers of cube-shaped cells. Only the most superficial layer is made up of cuboidal cells, and the other layers can be cells of other ...
