Note that the bladder is made up of a tissue called transitional epithelium. Research how the structure of this tissue type is perfect for the function of the bladder. PLTW LABORATORY JOURNAL Describe how cell shape differs when the bladder is full and when the bladder is empty.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Cell changes shape from cuboid to squamous when the bladder gets full.

Also the transitional epithelium being flexible in terms of contraction and expansion are suitable for urinary bladder

Explanation:

Transitional epithelium is a stratified epithelium which means it consists of multiple layers of epithelial cells. These multiple layer of cells allows the epithelium to contract and expand as per the requirement of the organ. Since Urinary bladder stretch and change its shape continuously (when it becomes full or empty).  

The shape of these cells also varies with the bladder state. When the bladder is empty, these cells are cuboid and when the bladder is full these cells gain flat shape just like squamous cells
