The statements that are correct about the parasympathetic division of the ANS are A, D, and E. Preganglionic neuron cell bodies are located in the brainstem nuclei, which is statement A. It maintains homeostasis, which is statement D. Preganglionic neuron cell bodies are located in the sacral region of the spinal cord, which is statement E. Statement C is incorrect because the parasympathetic division is responsible for the opposite response, the "rest and digest" response, not the "fight-or-flight" response. Statement B is incorrect because preganglionic neuron cell bodies are located in the lateral horns of the T1-L2 regions in the sympathetic division, not the parasympathetic division.
