Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the question by identifying the anatomical region being referred to, which is the 'back of the head.'
Step 2: Recall the anatomical terms associated with different regions of the skull. For example: 'Occipital' refers to the back of the head, 'Orbital' refers to the eye socket, 'Frontal' refers to the forehead, and 'Temporal' refers to the sides of the head near the temples.
Step 3: Match the description 'back of the head' with the correct anatomical term. The occipital region is located at the posterior aspect of the skull, specifically at the back of the head.
Step 4: Eliminate the other options by verifying their definitions: 'Orbital' is unrelated to the back of the head, 'Frontal' is the front of the skull, and 'Temporal' is the lateral sides of the skull.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct anatomical term for the region at the back of the head is 'Occipital.'
