The term skeletal means that they affect the the bones of the skeleton. They are called striated as the muscle fibers (also called cells) show the contracting units called sacromeres as lines in the cell as seen under the microscope. They are voluntary as you have control over them using your nervous system.
Skeletal muscles are striated which look "striped". The best example of striated muscles is in your thighs. By comparison, your heart is smooth muscle.
They are striated because striated means kind of stripey and the muscles has stripes of muscle itself.
Yes, skeletal muscles are also known as striated muscles due to the alternating light and dark bands (striations) that are visible under a microscope. This striated appearance is caused by the arrangement of the protein filaments within the muscle fibers.
