Transitional epithelium is a stratified epithelium in which the shape of the surface cells changes (undergoes transitions) depending on the degree of stretch.When a transitional epithelium is not stretched (for example in an empty bladder) the cells of the surface layers are large and rounded.Arrows labeled c indicate several large rounded cells which have been outlined on the photo.hen a transitional epithelium is stretched (as it would be in a full bladder) the cells of the surface layers are pulled into a flatter shape. Unlabeled arrows indicate base of the epithelium. ct = connective tissue. lu = lumen.
