Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Cardiac Physiology


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is relevant to the topic. All information is related to the heart, blood circulation, and electrical conductance. The article is neutral and does not contain personal opinions. The majority of sources are cited and are recent. The information is also well organized with appropriate subtitles. Images enhance the understanding of the article and are placed in a visually appealing way. Currently, there are no discussions on the talk page. The article is part of WikiProject Physiology. Overall, the article is reliable and contains enough information for readers to understand the general idea of the topic. This article can be improved by providing information about how electrical conductance can be interpreted with an electrocardiogram. The sources below elaborate on how electrical conductance is measured and how abnormalities in electrical waves can indicated heart issues.

 * Sörnmo, L. and Laguna, P. (2006). Electrocardiogram (ECG) Signal Processing. In Wiley Encyclopedia of Biomedical Engineering, M. Akay (Ed.). doi:10.1002/9780471740360.ebs1482

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Neurophysiology


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article contains some information about the topic but is missing a lot of material. The information that is available discusses the history of neurophysiology but contain citations that are outdated or the links are broken. Another issue with the article is that some information in the lead is not explained in the article. The available information is neutral and does not contain personal opinions. While sources are present at the end of the article, they are not cited in the text. This article also lacks relevant images. Overall, the article is a work in progress and needs more edits and reviews to be a reliable source of information. The article below discusses the role of astrocytes in the nervous system and how alterations in astrocytes can cause neurological disorders. The second source describes how neuron and glial rations impact brain physiology.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Catecholamine


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic. Information is cited and sources are recent. All information is related to catecholamines. The article is organized and all subtitles contain the appropriate information. There are a few images that are presented in a visually appealing way. All images are linked to a valid source. This article is a work in progress and is a part of WikiProject Medicine and WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology. There are many discussions regarding the topic such as MAOI action and the accuracy of the images. While the article has an abundant of information on the structure of catecholamines, it does not have much information about the physiology of catecholamines. The sources below provide more information on how catecholamine pathways and how it affects our body.
