Bladder Histology
(Stain - Haematoxylin Eosin)
Transitional epithelium is found exclusively in the excretory urinary passages.
- renal calyces and pelvis
- ureter
- urinary bladder
- part of the urethra
The shape of the surface cells and the number of rows change if the bladder is distended (number of rows decreases).
- Not yet resolved if all the epithelial cells are in contact with the basement membrane.
- Some texts consider transitional epithelium as a specialised stratified epithelium while others group it with pseudostratified epithelia.
