TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM FOUND IN THE URETER OF A MAMMAL UNDER HPO =Transitional Epithelium is also known as Urothelium since it is usually found in the Urinary Tract. What makes it unique is its ability to distend the walls of the Urinary bladder when it is filled. =Umbrella Cells-are the superficial rounded or dome shaped cells that enables the epithelia to withstand the hypertonic effects of urine and protect the underlying cells from toxic solutions.
