Explain 3 major events that occur in duodenum?

From Seely - Anatomy & Physiology 6th Edition: The hepatic ducts from the liver lobes combine to form the common hepatic duct. The common hepatic duct combines with the cystic duct from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct. (Bile contains no digestive enzymes, but it plays a role in digestion because it neutralizes and dilutes stomach acid and emulsifies fats. The pH of chyme as it leaves the stomach is too low for the normal function of pancreatic enzymes. Bile helps to neutralize the acidic chyme and to bring the pH up to a level at which pancreatic enzymes can function.) The common bile duct and the pancreatic duct combine to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla. The hepatopancreatic ampulla empties into the duodenum at the major duodenal papilla. Pancreatic secretions also enter the duodenum through the hepatopancreatic ampulla. The accessory pancreatic duct also empties into the duodenum.
