Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function of transitional epithelium: Transitional epithelium is specialized to stretch and accommodate fluctuation in the volume of liquid in an organ.

Identify the body systems that require such flexibility: The urinary system, particularly the bladder, needs to expand and contract as it fills and empties.

Consider the anatomical location: Transitional epithelium lines the urinary bladder, ureters, and part of the urethra, all components of the urinary system.

Compare with other systems: The nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, and lymphatic systems do not require the same type of epithelial flexibility as the urinary system.

Conclude that the urinary system is the correct answer, as it is the only system listed that utilizes transitional epithelium for its function.
