    Glossary Occiput

    back part of the skull

    The occiput is the back part of the skull, specifically the area that forms the posterior portion of the head. It is an important anatomical landmark in both medical and cosmetic contexts, as it houses the occipital bone, which protects the brain and supports the head's structure. In hair-related discussions, the occiput is often referenced when describing hair growth patterns, hair loss, or surgical procedures like hair transplants.
