Answer: The hormones secretin and cholecystokinin target the pancreas, stomach, and gallbladder.

Step-by-step explanation:

The duodenum secretes two additional hormones. Cholecystokinin (CCK), like enterogastrone, is secreted in response to the presence of fat in the chyme. CCK stimulates the contractions of the gallbladder, injecting bile into the duodenum so that fat can be emulsified and more efficiently digested. The other duodenal hormone is secretin. Released in response to the acidity of the chyme that arrives in the duodenum, secretin stimulates the pancreas to release bicarbonate, which then neutralizes some of the acidity.
