All the following regarding regulation of a physiological function by either a neurotransmitter or a hormone are true except:
1. Target cells must have specific receptor proteins with which these molecules combine.
2. When these molecules bind to target cells, specific sequences of changes must occur.
3. There must be an “off-switch” that will stop the induced changes.
4. Second messengers will always be involved in the response of the target cell.
