Abstract
The organizers of this meeting invited me to present a brief and general outline about reproductive physiology and its developmental background, so as to introduce the expert papers which will be presented on selected aspects of the field. This responsability is in the same time a honour and a risky task because reproductive physiology implies an extraordinarily large number of physiological and developmental facets.
