Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the anatomical terms provided in the question. Each term refers to a specific region of the body: Occipital (back of the head), Frontal (forehead), Temporal (sides of the head near the temples), and Orbital (eye socket).
Step 2: Recall that a coronal view divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections. This view is helpful for identifying structures located at the front or back of the body.
Step 3: Focus on the phrase 'region at the back of the head.' This description matches the Occipital region, which is located at the posterior aspect of the skull.
Step 4: Eliminate the other options based on their anatomical locations: Frontal refers to the forehead (anterior), Temporal refers to the sides of the head, and Orbital refers to the eye socket (anterior).
Step 5: Conclude that the correct anatomical term for the region at the back of the head in a coronal view is 'Occipital.'
