You are herding frugs up a trail on a hill (coincidentally, the hill is shaped like a perfectly round paraboloid). As you reach the most south-western part of the mountain trail the evil wolf Eerg appears and chases some of your frugs up the trail! Luckily, you know a shortcut. Write a vector (with numbers for full credit) that describes the direction you go to beat Eerg to the top and recollect your frugs. For the sake of this problem, let’s assume you run just as fast, regardless of the incline. The answer doesn’t depend on the equation for the mountain, but if you would like an example just use f(x,y)=25-x2-y2f(x,y)=25-x^2-y^2 and the points (-3,-3)(-3,-3).

Module 11 – Loop of Henle If a defect prevents solute transport out of the ascending limb of the Loop of Henle: What is the normal role of the ascending limb in creating the vertical medullary osmotic gradient? (4 points) How would a failure to transport solutes here affect the osmolarity of the medulla? (3 points) How would this change in the medulla impact water reabsorption in the descending limb of the loop of Henle? (4 points) What effect might this have on the overall ability of the kidney to concentrate urine? (3 points)
