Vesica urinaria (histological specimen)

Tunica mucosa
The mucosa consists of the transitional epithelium (elements with two or more nuclei) and lamina propria (thin to dense connective tissue).

Tunica muscularis
We recognize three layers of smooth muscle (similar to ductus deferens):
 * inner and outer longitudinal, layer
 * middle circular layer.

Tunica adventitia
Adventicia (anatomically ligament – paracystium) binds the bladder to other pelvic organs. It is missing on the surface of the bladder, which is covered with peritoneum (tunica serosa).
