What part in the Vedas do the four Veda go in?
The Vedas do not belong to any other category. However, the Vedas themselves are divided into four parts namely the Samhitas, the Brahmanas, the Aranyakas and the Upanishads.

This categorizaton also comes handy at the time of differentiating between Purva and Uttara MImamsa. Purva-Mimamsa is based on the earlier (Purva = earlier) parts of the Vedas i.e. Samhitas and Brahmanas. Uttar-Mimamsa is based on the later (Uttar = later) parts of the Vedas i.e. Aranyakas and the Upanishads.
