What type of nerve system is carrying sensory signals from smooth muscles to brain?

The sensory division is what sends information from smooth muscles to the brain. The nervous system first uses sensory receptors (located everywhere internally and externally on body) to sense change (pain, cold, the need for a muscle to contract, ect.) The information gathered is sent to the brain and spinal cord by way of the sensory division.
