    HISTOLOGY ART: Urinary System Body Tissues

    • Ureter
      • Lined by transitional epithelium and consists of mucosa, muscularis, and adventitia
      • Upper part lined by inner longitudinal and middle circular smooth muscle layers
      • Third longitudinal smooth muscle layer added in the lower third of ureter
      • Connective tissue adventitia surrounds the ureter
      • Bladder
        • Thick muscular wall with three indistinct layers of smooth muscle
        • Serosa lines superior surface and adventitia covers the inferior surface
        • Transitional epithelium in empty bladder exhibits about six layers of cells
        • When stretched, the transitional epithelium appears stratified squamous
        • Changes in epithelium caused by thicker plasma membrane of superficial cells and plaques
        • Plaques act like hinges, and allow cells to expand during stretching; cells become squamous
        • Thicker plasma membrane and transitional epithelium provide osmotic barrier to urine
