Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The transmission of the scent of a flower is not a function of the nervous system but rather involves the detection of chemical molecules by olfactory receptors in the nose, which is then processed by the brain. The autonomic division of the peripheral nervous system regulates involuntary body functions such as heart rate and digestion, not the transmission of scents.
