The nervous system.
A synonym for sensory nerves is "afferent nerves." These nerves are responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body's receptors to the central nervous system, allowing for the perception of stimuli such as touch, pain, temperature, and more.
The sensory nerves, known as afferent nerves, are responsible for relaying action potentials from sensory receptors to the brain. These nerves carry information about touch, temperature, pain, and other sensory stimuli to the central nervous system for processing.
A mixed nerve contains both sensory and motor nerves. Sensory nerves carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, while motor nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.

Sensory nerves, or the receptor nerves, as they are only made up of sensory neurons. Receptors are the specialised structures at the end of the sensory nerves that receive the stimuli and convert it into an electrical signal to be conducted by the nerve as a nerve impulse.
Sensory nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system which includes the cranial and spinal nerves. They bring impulses to the central nervous system which includes the brain and spinal cord. Peripheral means the sides and that is why the sensory nerves are referred to as the peripheral nervous system. All of the nervous system is related to the skin because both the nervous system tissues and skin tissues originated in endoderm during the gastrula stage of embryonic development. The sensory nerves form the link between receptors and the central nervous system (CNS). They carry nerve impulses from stimulated receptors to the CNS. They are also referred to as afferent nerves.
Depending on where the "message" originates, it would generally be the periphrial nervous system carrying the message to the central nervous system, which is then processed by the appropriate neurons in the brain. The class of these nerves are the "efferent" nerves.
The nervous system
It is located outside of the central nervous system and consists of nerves and sensory receptors, it carries impulses formed by receptors, such as pain and sound receptors, to the CNS and it carries impulses from the CNS to effectors, glands and muscles that carry out actions directed by the CNS
The peripheral nervous system, contains all the nerves in the body that lie outside of the spinal cord and brain. They also relay signals from sensory receptors that monitor external conditions to the central nervous system.
Cutaneous sensory receptors in the skin are part of the somatosensory portion of the nervous system.
Nerve cell called sensory neurons. An axon also known as a nerve fiber is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conduct electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.If the fibres which are the branched projections attach to the cell body of nerve cell are dendrites
