Explanation / Answer

4. the epithilium of urinary bladder is called as the transitional epithelium. in this type of the epithelium thecells usually swells and shrinks accordingly with respect to theconcentration of fluid surrounding the cell. since the urinary bladder holdsthe urine so if the bladder is full of urine the epithelia cells swell up to form columnar type of cell and if the bladder has less amount of urine the cell shrinks and it appears as a pseudostratified colunar epitheiu with a single baement membrane.

5. signs and syptoms of interstitial cystitis

in this case there is scarring of bladder which causes bladder to stiffen up thereby decreasing amount of urine it can hold comfortably.

6. the renal tubule consists of renal corpuscle and tubular portion. the renal corpuscle comprised of glomerulus (simple squamous) bowmans capsule (simple squamous) and urinary space. the tubular portion consists of proximal, distal, loop of henle, collecting tubule and collecting ducts, each having cuboidal epithelium. these collecting ducts drain the urine into the ureter having transitional epithelium.

7. the luminal border of proximal tubules bears brush border microvilli. these microvilli helps to increase the absorption of electrolyte by increasing the surface area just like the icrovilli of intestines do. if these microvilli desroyed it will cause impaired funtioning of the nephrons which will result in several renal diseases
