Ferrets do have a ribcage
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.
"Belly" is another word for stomach. You cannot actually touch your stomach because it is on the inside of your body, but you can touch the skin about where your stomach is - it's right under the left side of your ribcage.

If you mean as in a ballet "Word" for it there is no word. If you mean what they want you to do when they say that, they mean to bring back your shoulders a little; inhaling helps you get this open ribcage position. They also mean as in having an upright upper body in good form; your spine should be straight. If you have ever been told how to sit properly with your upper body it's like that. No slouching or crunching in- that's a closed ribcage.
The ribcage doesn't include any long bones.
The root word for "chest" is "cist," which comes from the Latin word "cista" meaning "box" or "basket." It evolved over time to refer to the part of the body enclosed by the ribcage.
Your ribcage protects your heart, lungs, spleen, liver, and part of your intestines.
