What is the function of sensory nerves?

Carry messages to the brain
Control muscle movements
Regulate temperature
Detect pain

The correct answer is: Carry messages to the brain

Sensory nerves are responsible for relaying information from the sensory receptors in our body to the brain. This information can include things like touch, smell, taste, and temperature. The other options are incorrect because muscle movements are controlled by motor nerves, temperature is regulated by the autonomic nervous system, and the detection of pain is also carried out by specific types of sensory nerves. So while these functions are related to the nervous system, they are not the specific function of sensory nerves.
