Option 1 states that the innermost layer of Transitional Epithelium is composed of cuboidal cells that rest on the underlying connective tissue. This statement is accurate. Transitional epithelium is a specialized type of epithelial tissue found in organs like the urinary bladder, ureters and urethra. It is characterized by its ability to stretch and accommodate changes in organ volume. The innermost layer of transitional epithelium, known as the basal layer or the germinative layer is composed of cuboidal or low columnar cells. These cells rest on the underlying connective tissue providing support and anchoring the epithelium.Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
