Each fiber is actually a muscle cell. They are found in bundles that form what we call muscles. These are also called skeletal muscles because when they contract and get shorter, the bones that they are attached to, move. And the bones are part of the skeletal system.
A skeletal muscle
The skeletal muscle, or striated muscle, is the muscle attached to the skeleton. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. The contraction of skeletal muscle is under voluntary control.
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.

smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscle
The delicate connective tissue that surrounds the skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together is the endomysium.
Smooth muscle cells are involuntary and non-striated, meaning they lack the distinct banding pattern seen in skeletal muscle fibers. Unlike skeletal muscle fibers, which are multi-nucleated and have a cylindrical shape, smooth muscle cells are spindle-shaped and typically contain a single nucleus. Additionally, smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and is responsible for involuntary movements, while skeletal muscle is primarily responsible for voluntary movements and is attached to bones.
