The job of the nerves is to transmit signals that the brain sends out to the rest of the body in order to tell it what to do. Every time you perform an action, such as typing an answer on Wiki Answers, your brain has to tell a specific part of your body exactly how to move in order to accomplish that task, and this message is transmitted very quickly through your nerves.
Nerves also serve to transmit error messages back to your brain. This normally happens when they sense that something is wrong, so they immediately send a message to your brain telling you to stop this action right away. The brain then interprets this message and makes you feel pain, so you will be motivated to stop.
Without our nerves, we wouldn't be able to feel pain, which isn't a good thing. Say, for example, you accidentally set your hand on a hot burner. Without nerves to send pain signals to your brain, your hand could burn to a crisp and you wouldn't even realize it!
There are some people with nerve disorders that have this problem, and others that are wheelchair-bound do to a blockage where their nerves can't reach certain parts of their body to tell them how to move. Needless to say, nerves are very important.
