  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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Bladder - Wikipedia

    When viewed under a microscope, the bladder can be seen to have an inner lining (called epithelium), three layers of muscle fibres, and an outer adventitia. [ 8 ] The inner wall of the bladder is called urothelium , a type of transitional epithelium formed by three to six layers of cells; the cells may become more cuboidal or flatter depending ...

    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 ...

    Parakeratinized epithelium is sometimes found in the oral mucosa and in the upper regions of the oesophagus. [12] Transitional: Transitional epithelia are found in tissues that stretch, and it can appear to be stratified cuboidal when the tissue is relaxed, or stratified squamous when the organ is distended and the tissue stretches.

    Tall column-shaped cells form the lining (the epithelium) of the glands. [2] These form one layer or may be pseudostratified. [4] The epithelium is highly variable and areas of low cuboidal or flat cells can also be present, with transitional epithelium in the outer regions of the longer ducts. [10]
