For "within the body of the expression", I wanted a phrase I could use near the beginning of this discussion, before we get into the differences of lexical vs dynamic binding. That way, I can refer back to it in the lexical/dynamic binding section and contrast it with the dynamic binding definition.

I've added some more explanation to it though, so hopefully that helps clarify things. I also reworked the description of dynamic binding to talk about how each variable has a stack of bindings. Hopefully this is clear enough; I think it's more straightforward than the previous one, since it uses a stack of papers on one's desk as a visual analogy to help drive the point home.
