Write the adjunction bijections as , natural in . The adjunction unit and adjunction counit are
Thus and are natural transformations, by naturality of the bijections. For any and , their transposes satisfy
The first follows by naturality in the target applied to ; the second follows by naturality in the source applied to . These formulas make the definitions operational for every arrow.
