The human brain is an organ of the human central nervous system. It is (21) in the head, protected by the skull. It has the same general structure as the brains of (22) mammals. Large animals such as whales and elephants have (23) brains in absolute terms, but when measured using a measure of relative brain size, which (24) for body size, the quotient for the human brain is almost twice as large as that of a bottlenose dolphin, and three times as large as that of a chimpanzee, though the quotient for a tree shrew's brain is larger than that of a human's. Much of the size of the human brain comes from the cerebral cortex, especially the frontal lobes, which are (25) with executive functions such as self-control, planning, reasoning, and abstract thought.
