The presence of highly acidic chyme in the duodenum would trigger the release of secretin and cholecystokinin, which would stimulate the pancreas to produce bicarbonate and enzymes. The acidic chyme would also stimulate the gallbladder to release bile. Gastric acid secretion would be decreased in response to the acidic chyme.
