Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sodium bicarbonate is a buffer that is secreted from the pancreas into the duodenum where it helps to neutralize the acidic chyme coming from the stomach, thus increasing the pH. Secretin and cholecystokinin are hormones that stimulate the release of pancreatic enzymes and bile, respectively. Trypsin is one of the pancreatic enzymes. Bile salts aid in the emulsification of fats.
