Definitions from the Web

Transitional Epithelium

Transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that lines the urinary bladder, ureters, and part of the urethra. It gets its name from its ability to stretch and transition between two different states. This unique nature allows it to accommodate variable volumes of urine without rupturing or leaking.

Usage Examples:

  1. Noun: The transitional epithelium of the bladder plays a crucial role in preventing the backflow of urine.
  2. Adjective: The transitional epithelial cells have specialized characteristics for stretching in response to the bladder's filling.
  3. Verb: The damaged transitional epithelium can regenerate itself over time.
