  1. This type of epithelium is notable for its ability to change shape depending on the volume of fluid in the organ. When the organ is distended with fluid, the surface cells of this epithelium can stretch and appear flattened.

    As the organ fills with fluid, the apical or surface cells unfold and stretch, becoming more flattened. In this distended state, the transitional epithelium appears as a stratified squamous epithelium.

    The ability to distend comes from the extra membranes that are stored in the transitional epithelial cells. They are crumpled up like paper when relaxed and they add to the surface when distended.

    The thickness of transitional epithelium depends on the state of distension of the organ. When the organ is contracted, many layers of cells are present and the surface cells are pear-shaped and bulge into the lumen. When the organ is distended, fewer layers are seen and the cells are flattened.

    Transitional epithelium is a stratified tissue made of multiple cell layers, where the cells constituting the tissue can change shape depending on the distention in the organ. When the organ is filled with fluid, cells on the topmost layer of this epithelium can stretch and appear flattened.
