occiput
This term is primarily used in medical, anatomical, and forensic contexts. It is a technical descriptor for the posterior region of the cranium, specifically the area where the skull connects to the spinal column. In casual conversation, people typically refer to this area simply as the back of the head.
Because it refers to a specific anatomical structure, it is treated as a countable noun in clinical settings when discussing multiple patients or specific bony landmarks, though it is most frequently encountered in the singular when describing a single human subject.
