[Haskell] Monads Terminology Question

Hello,

    I'm wondering what the correct terminology is for the extra functions that we define with monads.  For instance, State has get and put, Reader has ask and local, etc.  Is there a good name for these?  I've been calling them the "non-proper morphisms" (as opposed to the "proper" morphisms unit/return and bind).  But I don't know if others call them that.  Is there any accepted phrase for them?

Thanks,
~Mark Snyder
