Explanation

The ureter is lined by transitional epithelium (urothelium), which allows it to stretch and accommodate the flow of urine from the kidneys to the bladder. This type of epithelium is specialized for organs that need to stretch without breaking.

Trachea: Lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells, which helps in filtering and humidifying the air.
