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.
