At the top of the spine there's a little bump right here, which is part of the vertebrae of the neck. What we're going to first observe when Sarah leans forward, rolls forward is how the spinal furrow, this sort of deep indentation, changes.

As soon as she does that this little bump right here becomes much more visible. That's the top of the back of the ribcage.
