Confused about Paritioned Tables

I'm a little confused about partitioned tables in Oracle 8 (we're still on 7.3.3).

I'm aware that each partition can be in its own tablespace, but does Oracle actually create TABLES with the partition name?

i.e. If you create table EMPLOYEES with partitions PART1, PART2, and PART3, are tables created with those names?

Thank you!
