Question

Select the correct option:

Read the following statements and select the correct option
Statement- 1: Urinary bladder is lined by transitional epithelium
Statement- 2: Transitional epithelium keeps the size of bladder constant at all time.

• A. Both statements 1 and 2 are correct
• B. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect
• C. Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct
• D. Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is B Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect

Transitional epithelium permits distension. Urinary bladder can be stretched considerably due to the presence of transitional epithelium. When stretched it appears to be thinner and the cells become flattened to accumulate the urine from the kidney. After micturition it resumes its original shape and size.

So, the correct answer is 'Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect'
