Identify the correct statement regarding the comparison of skeletal and smooth muscle:
1. Nervous stimulation of smooth muscle is always excitatory, whereas nervous stimulation of skeletal muscle may be excitatory or inhibitory.
2. The contractile activity of smooth muscle may be affected by hormones, whereas the contractile activity of the skeletal muscle is not.
3. Both ANS and somatic neural systems innervate smooth muscle, whereas skeletal muscle may be innervated by the somatic motor system only.
4. The calcium-binding protein in smooth muscle is troponin whereas in skeletal muscle, it is tropomyosin.
