Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the term 'apex' in anatomical terminology. The apex refers to the highest or most pointed part of a structure.

Step 2: Analyze the options provided in the question. Each option corresponds to a specific anatomical region: (1) The highest point of the skull (top of the head), (2) The back of the head (occipital region), (3) The tip of the nose, and (4) The lower jaw (mandible).

Step 3: Recall that the apex of the head specifically refers to the highest point of the skull, which is located at the top of the head. This is distinct from other regions such as the occipital region (back of the head), the tip of the nose, or the mandible (lower jaw).

Step 4: Eliminate the incorrect options by matching the anatomical terminology to the correct region. For example, the occipital region refers to the back of the head, not the apex. Similarly, the tip of the nose and the mandible are unrelated to the apex of the head.

Step 5: Confirm that the correct answer is 'The highest point of the skull (top of the head)' based on anatomical terminology and reasoning.
