The lamina propria has been theorized to be the “functional center” for localized control of the bladder, coordinating the activities of the urothelium and detrusor smooth muscle.
umbrella cells alter their apical surface area by exocytosis and endocytosis. In addition to its role as a barrier, the uroepithelium can modulate the movement of ions, solutes, and water across the mucosal surface of the bladder.
Bowman’s capsule is a part of the nephron that forms a cup-like sack surrounding the glomerulus. Bowman’s capsule encloses a space called “Bowman’s space,” which represents the beginning of the urinary space and is contiguous with the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron.
