The trigone is a triangular area in the bladder where the ureters and urethra connect. It is located in the base of the bladder and is made up of smooth muscle that does not expand like the rest of the bladder. The trigone helps maintain the shape and support the function of the bladder.
Transitional epithelium is the epithelial tissue that has cells capable of changing shape when stretched (such as when the bladder is full) or contracted (when the bladder is empty). This type of epithelium allows for tissue expansion without losing its integrity.
The bladder is primarily made up of smooth muscle tissue known as the detrusor muscle. The inner lining of the bladder is composed of transitional epithelium, which allows the bladder to expand and contract as it fills and empties.
The urethra carries urine from the bladder to the opening of the urethra. It acts as a tube that allows urine to pass out of the body during urination.
Stratified transitional epithelium can typically be found lining areas of the body that are subject to stretching or expansion, such as the urinary bladder, ureters, and parts of the urethra.

The bladder is primarily made up of smooth muscle tissue known as the detrusor muscle. The inner lining of the bladder is composed of transitional epithelium, which allows the bladder to expand and contract as it fills and empties.
Rugae are actually folds in the mucosa of the stomach and urinary bladder, not the kidney. Rugae in the stomach help with its expansion when it is full, while rugae in the bladder allow for stretching as it fills with urine.
Cystoscopy is the diagnostic procedure that allows for the visualization of the urinary bladder. It involves inserting a thin tube with a camera (cystoscope) through the urethra to examine the bladder wall for abnormalities or conditions like inflammation, tumors, or stones.
Water expands when it is heated, this expansion increases the pressure. The bladder tank absorbs the extra pressure, protecting the hot water heater.
No, the stomach does not have transitional epithelium. The stomach lining is primarily made up of simple columnar epithelium, which is specialized for secreting mucus and enzymes involved in digestion. Transitional epithelium is typically found in structures like the urinary bladder, where it allows for stretching and expansion.
