    13.27   Urinary bladder Version française
Mucosa of the urinary bladder.

At the surface of this mucosa, the epithelium, classified as transitional, is composed of several layers of cells.

The superficial epithelial cells are large and dome-shaped (arrows). All the cells of this epithelium become squamous in distended bladders. Thus, this epithelium continually varies in thickness.

This epithelium is sitting on a lamina propria composed of dense connective tissue.
