Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transitional epithelium is found in organs such as the bladder that need to expand and contract, as it can stretch to accommodate changes in volume and return to its original shape. Cuboidal and pseudostratified epithelia are found in various organs but are not specialized for stretch and expansion. Simple squamous epithelium is flat and thin, making it better suited for filtration or diffusion rather than for lining organs that need to expand and contract.
