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.
