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.
