genu
Genu is a Latin term that generally refers to the knee or the knee area. However, in medical and biological contexts, it can also refer to a specific part in a structure or an organ resembling or relating to the knee, particularly in terms of its bending or curved shape. For example, in neuroanatomy, the "genu of the corpus callosum" refers to the front, curved part of the corpus callosum in the brain.
