Spine: if you are thin, you are more likely to feel the spinous processes of your spine. There is one that typically juts out near the base of the neck, where the cervical and thoracic vertebrae meet. Similarly, some people have one that is more prominent lower down, where the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae meet. Find out if family members have the same thing. Often genetic shape.
