This part of the frame is located at the ridge, is not structural, and does not carry the gravity load. What is the name of this part of the frame that serves as a connection point for the rafters?

The rafters meet and connect to the ridge board. The ridge board only serves as a place where the rafters meet and does not serve a structural purpose. With a ridge board, the weight is transferred down the rafters to the walls.
