Ferrets do have a ribcage
that means your ribcage is open and is showing
No. It means you have a ribcage that measures 36 inches (no adding numbers), and a bust that measures 39 inches, as a C cup only means there is a 3 inch difference between the ribcage and the bust. Each breast would only have about an extra 1.5 inches of projection compared to the ribcage. A 36C would be someone with a wide ribcage, or overweight (depending on the person's body frame), with proportionally small breasts.
The ribcage doesn't include any long bones.
Well, to answer the question directly, skin protects the ribcage. If the question reversed (what organs does the ribcage protect?), then my answer would be that the ribcage primarily protects the heart and lungs, although it does protect the spleen and, to a lesser extent, the liver and stomach.
The scientific name for the ribcage is thoracic cage, which includes the ribs, sternum, and thoracic vertebrae. It is a bony structure that protects the vital organs located in the chest cavity, such as the heart and lungs.
Your ribcage protects your heart, lungs, spleen, liver, and part of your intestines.
