What is a "sensory nerve"?
A sensory nerve is responsible for transmitting sensory information from various parts of the body to the central nervous system.

Sensory nerves have sensory receptor endings located in tissues and organs throughout the body, which convert external stimuli into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. They play a crucial role in our ability to perceive and respond to the world around us, allowing us to experience sensations and gain awareness of our environment.
