The structure of the transitional epithelium of pig, sheep, rat and shrew was examined by ultrathin serial sections. The epithelium consists of basal, intermediate and superficial cells. The epithelia of all four species are stratified and are distinguished by a different number of intermediate cell layers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
