Correct Answer

Explanation

The mucosa, or innermost layer, of the bladder is comprised of transitional epithelium. Transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that can stretch and contract as needed. This ability is important in the bladder because it allows the bladder to hold and release urine. In addition to transitional epithelium, the bladder also contains smooth muscle, which contracts to expel urine, and connective tissue, which supports the bladder structure.
