Answer:

Sensory Nerves

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite an odd question for the English category, but nonetheless we will answer it here.

Sensory nerves report information to the brain. It is a one-way communication from the body to the brain. Motor nerves respond by sending messages from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to the body for movement. Motor nerves send messages in the opposite direction from the CNS to the body

Because of this, when you walk on grass, these are the nerves that are responsible for triggering a response for pain.

Hope this helped! :^)
