I don't really know the correct answer. But "Flexion/Extension" applies to joints, and the head is not a joint - the neck, however, consists of many joints!

The extension of the head refers to the action of tilting the head backwards, usually to look up towards the ceiling or sky. This movement is controlled by the muscles at the back of the neck and is important for maintaining good posture and range of motion in the neck.
