Let $f : x \to y$ be a morphism in an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$. Then
\begin{enumerate}
\item $f$ is injective if and only if $f$ is a monomorphism, and
\item $f$ is surjective if and only if $f$ is an epimorphism.
\item $f$ is injective if and only if $f$ is a monomorphism,
\item $f$ is surjective if and only if $f$ is an epimorphism, and

$\Mor_\mathcal{A}(z, x) \to \Mor_\mathcal{A}(z, y)$
is injective for all $z$ if and only if $f$ is a monomorphism.
The proof of (2) is similar.
For the proof of (3) note that an isomorphism is both a monomorphism
and epimorphism, which by (1), (2) proves $f$ is injective
and surjective. If $f$ is both injective and surjective, then
$x = \Coim(f)$ and $y = \Im(f)$ whence $f$ is an isomorphism.
\end{proof}
