Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the question by identifying the anatomical region being referred to. The question asks for the term that describes the region at the back of the head.

Step 2: Review the anatomical terms provided in the options: Orbital (pertaining to the eye socket), Frontal (pertaining to the forehead), Temporal (pertaining to the sides of the head near the temples), and Occipital (pertaining to the back of the head).

Step 3: Recall that the occipital region is located at the posterior aspect of the skull, specifically at the back of the head. This term is derived from the occipital bone, which forms the posterior part of the cranium.

Step 4: Eliminate the incorrect options based on their definitions: Orbital refers to the eye socket, Frontal refers to the forehead, and Temporal refers to the sides of the head near the temples. None of these describe the back of the head.

Step 5: Conclude that the correct anatomical term for the region at the back of the head is 'Occipital,' as it directly corresponds to the location described in the question.
