Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function of the urinary bladder: The urinary bladder is a hollow organ that stores urine and must be able to stretch and accommodate varying volumes of liquid.

Review the characteristics of transitional epithelium: Transitional epithelium is a specialized tissue that can stretch and change shape, making it ideal for organs like the bladder that expand and contract.

Eliminate incorrect options: Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that stores fat and does not have the ability to stretch or line hollow organs. Simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells, suitable for areas requiring diffusion, not stretching. Skeletal muscle tissue is involved in voluntary movement and is not found in the bladder wall.

Identify the correct tissue type: Transitional epithelium is the major tissue type in the urinary bladder because it allows the bladder to stretch and return to its original shape as it fills and empties.

Conclude the reasoning: Based on the bladder's function and the properties of transitional epithelium, this tissue type is the correct answer for the major tissue type in the urinary bladder.
