Alimentary canal; digestive tract (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enteron

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'alimentary canal' is the first definition.
(enteron is a kind of alimentary canal)

'digestive tract' is the second definition.
(I know that enteron is a type of digestive tract)

(Other definitions for enteron that I've seen before include "gut" , "Begin; engage in" , "Open" , "element of guts" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
