All the nerves in your body are connected to your spinal nerves which then send messages from different areas in your body up through your central nervous system to your brain. Ex: When you walk your nerves in your feet and legs send a message up into your spine to the brain. So the question isn't really carrying messages toward or away its that it sends messages back and forth through your spine actually.
to the brain.
The nerves that carry impulses toward the brain are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry impulses away. In way to remember this is afferent equals away.

The spinal cord and the abdomen, limbs, and chest. Spinal nerves carry impulses between the spinal cord and the abdomen, limbs, and chest. Cranial nerves carry impulses between the brain and the neck and head.
Peripheral nervous disorders or peripheral neuropathies are disorders of the peripheral nerves, which carry information to and from the brain and spinal cord.
The stimuli will be picked up by the sensory neurons then nerve impulses travel to your spinal cord. Those nerve impulses return to motor neurons that will react (like you pull your hand away, or you yell) as you react the nerve impulses travel to your brain.
the spinal nerves carry impulses between the spinal cord and body parts.
The spinal nerves carry impulses between the spinal cord and the body parts.
The nervous system carries impulses to and from the brain by way of neurons. The bundles are called nerves. Sensory nerves bring impulses into the spinal cord and brain and motor neuron carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands.

The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The nerves leading from the spinal cord make up the peripheral nervous system.
