Lateral Compartment Syndrome. A compartment syndrome occurs when the muscles swell too big for the surrounding sheath and can be acute or chronic. The lateral compartment of the lower leg is made up of the peroneus brevis and peroneus longus muscles, either of which can be the cause of a compartment syndrome. Compartments syndromes are either acute or chronic. An acute compartment syndrome is one that comes on suddenly and a chronic compartment syndrome has usually come on gradually over time.
Because the forty species of dolphins are so diverse, they range in size. The smallest of the dolphin species, Maui's Dolphin, is around 4 feet (1.2m) long and weighs around 90 lbs (40 kg). The largest dolphin species is the orca, or killer whale. Male orcas grow to about 25 feet in length and weigh about 19,000 pounds. Lifespan: Most dolphins live long lives. The bottlenose dolphin can live over 40 years, and the orca can live to be 70 or 80!
Genus: Stenella. Species: coeruleoalba. Striped dolphins are some of the most abundant and widespread dolphins in the world. These dolphins can reach lengths of about 9 ft (2.7 m) and weigh up to 350 lbs (160 kg) for males and 8 ft (2.4 m) and 330 lbs (150 kg) for females.
