Question
### Urinary Bladder Epithelium Identification

Two views of a specimen of a urinary bladder are presented. 

1. **Identification Task:**
   - First, you must recognize/identify the epithelium covering the upper surface of this specimen.

2. **Examination Task:**
   - Then examine the higher power view of the boxed-in area in the lower power view.

**Question:**
Which of the listed cell types are the correct names for the two cells indicated by the arrows?

### Visual Description:

- **Left Image:** 
  - A lower magnification view of a histological section of the urinary bladder. The epithelium can be seen lining the lumen. A specific area has been boxed in to indicate a region for closer examination.

- **Right Image:**
  - A higher magnification view of the boxed-in area from the lower magnification image is shown. This view shows the detailed structure of the cells within the epithelium. Two blue arrows are pointing to specific cells within this higher magnification view.

### Image Reference:
- **Link:** [UBL-1.jpg](URL link is not provided in the transcription format)

### Answer:
- **Selected Answer:**
  - **D. transitional epithelium**

Transitional epithelium, also known as urothelium, is a type of stratified epithelium that lines the urinary bladder and parts of the urinary tract. It is specialized to accommodate stretching as the bladder fills and empties.
