Do short term and long term comets come from the oort cloud and kuiper belt?

What is the relationship of Kuiper belt and Oort cloud to short-period and long-period comets?Do short term and long term comets come from the oort cloud and kuiper belt?
It is generally accepted that short term comets originate from the kuiper belt, while long term comets originate from the oort cloud. There is more research to be done in this area, but that will be the correct answer for any science class you are in right now.Do short term and long term comets come from the oort cloud and kuiper belt?
Not really, since kuiper belt is in orbit, it is stuck in the orbit and do not leave which will not leave unless something really massive hits and bump it out of the obit. So it kinda like yes and no answer
