Urinary bladder
The urinary bladder has
transitional epithelium lining its internal surface. It is a
leakage-proof epithelium which does not allow urine to be absorbed back
into the blood.
Differential diagnosis:
The urinary bladder can be confused with luminal organs with large outer
coat musculature such as tongue and esophagus. Esophagus and trachea
have stratified squamous while the urinary bladder has transitional
epithelium.
