The opposite of convex is concave. Concave shapes have an inward curve, while convex shapes have an outward curve.
The superior concave curve in the vertebral column is called the cervical lordosis.

Concave lenses curve inwardly.Convex lenses curve outwardly.* See related links.
The point when a curve changes from concave upward to concave downward is called the inflection point. It is the point where the curve transitions from being curved "upwards" to being curved "downwards" or vice versa. At the inflection point, the rate of change of the curve's curvature changes sign.
Concave
Concave shapes curve inward, like a cave, while convex shapes curve outward, like a bump.
Convex shapes curve outward, like a dome, while concave shapes curve inward, like a cave.
The concave side refers to the side of a curve that is curved inward or "caved in." It is the side that appears to be creating a hollow or depression in the surface. In geometry, concave shapes curve inward, like a cave.

The two types of curved mirrors are concave and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors curve inward and can create both real and virtual images, while convex mirrors curve outward and only produce virtual images.
