Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Muscle cells, commonly known as myocytes, are the cells that make up muscle tissue. There are 3 types of muscle cells in the human body; cardiac, skeletal, and smooth. Cardiac and skeletal myocytes are sometimes referred to as muscle fibers due to their long and fibrous shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each bundle of muscle fiber is called a fasciculus and is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the perimysium. Within the fasciculus, each individual muscle cell, called a muscle fiber, is surrounded by connective tissue called the endomysium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscle cells are the individual contractile cells within a muscle and are more usually known as muscle fibers because of their longer threadlike appearance.

Detailed explanation-4: -The muscle cell membrane is called the sarcolemma and the cytoplasm, the sarcoplasm. The sarcolemma has the property of excitability and can conduct the electrical impulses that occur during depolarization.
