To get information from the environment.
The peripheral nervous system comprises the sensory and motor neurons.
The nervous system which also interprets information from sensory units
sensory
The neuron that carries impulses to the central nervous system is called a sensory neuron. Sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord, allowing the central nervous system to process and respond to sensory information.

The nervous system
The two parts of the peripheral nervous system are the somatic nervous system, responsible for voluntary movements and sensory input, and the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion.
The somatic nervous system consists of sensory and motor neurons that are associated with voluntary actions. Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, while motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles to initiate movement. This system allows for conscious control over skeletal muscle movement.
Sensory nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system. This is also called the PNS for short. Sensory nerves work in conjuction with the senses, to receive and transmit signals and impulses from the sensory organs.
The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system. This system is responsible for voluntary movements and sensory information.
