Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal. It contains three anatomically distinct divisions: sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two divisions of the autonomic nervous system are the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division.

Homeostasis is the balance between the two systems.
