II. Anatomy
- Transitional Epithelium (Urothelium)
- Lines the lower urinary tract (Bladder and proximal Urethra) as well as the upper tract (ureters and Kidneys)
- Distal Urethra is instead lined by stratified squamous epithelium
- Barrier to urinary tract toxins
- Multilayer cuboid Cell Structure allows the epithelium to expand and contract
- Disrupted by Trauma, infection, inflammation or obstruction
- Lines the lower urinary tract (Bladder and proximal Urethra) as well as the upper tract (ureters and Kidneys)
- Lamina propria (submucosa)
- Muscularis Propria (Detrusor Muscle)
- Bladder Smooth Muscle comprises the outer layer
