nodal
Concerning connection points
Nodal is the adjective form of node, describing something relating to or located at a node.
In anatomy, the nodal point refers to a junction or connection point, particularly in the heart's electrical system.
In physics and mathematics, nodal describes points where waves cancel out or where lines intersect.
The nodal tissue controls the heartbeat's rhythm.
Engineers identified the nodal points of maximum stress in the bridge structure.
