One excellent Biology teacher taught her students never to use the word 'belly' because it is considered a slang word. Perhaps the following will clarify. . . When you use the word cavity, you are probably referring to the gut (most commonly in plural form, guts), which is divided into the foregut, midgut, and hindgut. The intestines are called the bowels (singular: bowel). Gut is sometimes used as an alternative word for bowel. Its most significant cavities include the oral cavity (mouth), and the stomach.
The area commonly referred to as the 'belly' is the abdomen. It is not really a cavity, and includes abdominal muscle and the part of the gastrointestinal tract below the ribs. Two of its significant cavities are the oral cavity (mouth), and the stomach. The gastrointestinal tract (measuring, for an adult male, from about 5 metres -- unstretched, to about 9 metres -- stretched) includes the mouth, stomach, pancreas, the small intestine (duodenum, jejunem and ileum), large intestine (cecum, colon, and rectum), and the anus.
Generally, there is a difference in word usage which indicates that guts usually refers to the internal contents of that part of the body (the entire gastrointestinal tract starting at the stomach) and does not reference the muscle or dermatological covering for that part of the torso; while abdomen is usually in reference to the outside --- particularly the stomach, intestinal area, and the muscle and skin overlying them. [Example: a medical reference will state swollen abdomen, but not swollen gut.]
