this epithelial tissue is stratified and cuboidal and is easily stretched out to become stratified squamous in appearance, but is very strong. it is found in both the ureters and the bladder, what is it?
transitional epithelium
simple squamous epithelium
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
hyaline cartilage

Explanation:

Transitional epithelium is stratified and cuboidal. It can stretch and change appearance (become more squamous - like). It is strong and found in ureters and bladder. Simple squamous epithelium is single - layered (not stratified). Pseudostratified columnar epithelium has a single layer but with a false - stratified appearance (nuclei at different levels) and is not cuboidal. Hyaline cartilage is a type of connective tissue, not epithelial tissue.

Answer:

Transitional epithelium
