With out a nervous system consisting of the nervous tissue made up of neurons, we would all be numb.Even if we could see,hear and touch we cannot preceive or our brain cannot makeout what it is because there is no medium to transwer the sences to the brain from different parts of our body. So know i leave it to your imagination about how it will be with out a nervous tissue made up of neurons[nerve cells].
