Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'urothelium': Urothelium is a type of transitional epithelium that is specialized to stretch and is found in the urinary system.

Identify the function of urothelium: It lines organs that need to expand and contract, such as the bladder, to accommodate varying volumes of urine.

Consider the options provided: Lining the small intestine, covering the outer surface of the skin, lining the urinary bladder, and covering the heart.

Evaluate each option: The small intestine and skin require different types of epithelial cells, and the heart is covered by pericardium, not urothelium.

Conclude that the urothelium is found lining the urinary bladder, as it is the organ that requires the unique properties of urothelium for expansion and contraction.
