The urinary bladder and ureters are lined by
a. simple squamous epithelium
b. transitional epithelium
c. pseudostratified columnar epithelium
d. stratified cuboidal epithelium

Respuesta :

Answer:

b. transitional epithelium

Explanation:

Transitional epithelium -

They are the type of stratified epithelium . These cells are cube - shaped and columnar .

They are present in the urinary bladder  and ureters and as the organ is stretched , these tissues compress and the cells thereby becomes stretched . Hence , according to the contraction and expansion of the organ these cells adapt .

Due to there presence in the urinary system , they are also called urothelium .

Answer:

The correct answer is b. transitional epithelium

Explanation:

The wall of urinary bladder and ureters are lined by transitional epithelium. Transitional epithelium cells are muscular multilayered stratified cells having ability to contract and relax. They are called transitional epithelium because they have ability to modify their shape.

In urinary bladder and ureters when pressure is high cells of transitional epithelium expands  and looks like flattened. When pressure decreases these cells relax and become cuboidal.

This transition helps urinary bladder to expand and accommodate large amount of urine coming from kidney after filtration. These cells can bear great amount of osmotic pressure.
