Urinary System: Urinary Bladder

#54 Bladder, Human

The basic structural arrangement of the bladder is similar to that of the ureter, and the structures and layers should be studied as in the previous slide.  Note the greatly thickened muscularis of the bladder.  Be certain that you can recognize transitional epithelium in both the relaxed and expanded states.  Some slides have both a relaxed and an expanded bladder, others have only the relaxed bladder.
