Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function of the urinary bladder and parts of the urinary system: These structures need to stretch and accommodate varying volumes of urine, which is a key clue for identifying the type of epithelial tissue.

Review the characteristics of transitional epithelium: This tissue is specialized for stretching and recoiling, and its cells can change shape from cuboidal to squamous depending on the degree of stretching.

Compare transitional epithelium with the other options: Stratified columnar epithelium is found in areas like the conjunctiva of the eye, simple squamous epithelium is suited for diffusion and filtration (e.g., alveoli in lungs), and pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium is found in the respiratory tract for mucus movement.

Focus on the unique ability of transitional epithelium to line organs that expand and contract, such as the urinary bladder, making it the most suitable choice for this function.

Conclude that transitional epithelium is the correct answer based on its structural and functional properties, which align with the needs of the urinary system.
