Motherboard USB Pins

Hi Everyone. I was looking to add a few more USB ports to my motherboard but wasn't sure about the naming of what I want. I have a couple extra USB pins on the motherboard and wondering what the product is called that would take those pins and convert them to USB ports. Any help would be great.
