This is a minorly incorrect use of the term distal, which means farther from the trunk of the body than something else for examply the hand is distal to the forearm. However the furthes part of the body from the top of the head is the end of the toe. Normally the end of the hallux (big toe) but in many cases the second toe is longer and so it would be the end of this that is furthest.

Where is cephalic body region?

From what I was taught, "cephalic" isn't necessarily a "body region" but a position term. The term cephalic actually means "pertaining to the head" or "pertaining to towards the head". So if you were to have a laser point to a stomach and then point it to a face, you moved the laser "cephalic." So yes, you can say that cephalic is the head region however if you want to be very technical about it; when you use the term "body region," people commonly think you are referring to a real set of anatomical terms used when scientists decided to break up the entire body in general regions a long time ago. The word cephalic isn't used in the body regions break up and instead the word "occipital region" is used for the back of the head.
