Is there a general term that can be used for critical points not maximum or minimum?

Most references do not use or avoid using terms when discussing critical points that are not maximum or minimum. But for the sake of asking a general term that encompasses critical points which are not maximum or minimum, what would be the term? I see terms like saddle point and point of inflection in some cases but I know that those terms have their own meaning and might not be restricted to the definition "a critical point not maximum or minimum". I just really want to use a formal term and not keep on stating that it is not an extreme point.
