Lesson Summary. Transitional epithelium is a layer of cells that form the mucosal lining of your ureters, a portion of your urethra, and your urinary bladder. The cells are stratified, which means they create several layers. These cells provide protection and allow the vessels to expand to accommodate fluid.
Functions of epithelial cells include secretion, selective absorption, protection, transcellular transport, and sensing. Epithelial layers contain no blood vessels, so they must receive nourishment via diffusion of substances from the underlying connective tissue, through the basement membrane.f it is two or more cells thick, it is known as stratified epithelium. However, when taller simple epithelial cells (see columnar, below) are viewed in cross section with several nuclei appearing at different heights, they can be confused with stratified epithelia.
