This tissue can be found in the lining of the bladder, uterers and urethra. The lining of the tissue is rounded which allows the identification of transitional epithelium tissue.

Renal Pelvis, Ureter, And Bladder Renal Pelvis The entire urine collecting system is lined by a sheet of transitional epithelium known as urothelium. In the renal pelvis, the urothelial cells are two or three layers thick. The most superficial cells are larger than the others and send projections down over the lateral surfaces of the cells beneath them, sometimes having an umbrella-like appearance. These “umbrella cells” have abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and may be binucleate. Underneath…

TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM. most important is the dome shaped cells at the top. also known as umbrella cells, with a large amound of cytoplasm for stretching

Location: bladder Fuction: allows to expand and stretch

Transitional epithelium looks like it is composed of simple squamous and simple cuboial cells but it has bumps in the top layer. This allows for waterproofing and stretching In this tissue cystitis can occur
