The cowbell is a hand percussion instrument used in various styles of both popular and classical music. It is named after the similar bell historically used by herdsmen to keep track of the whereabouts of cows. While the cowbell is commonly found in musical contexts, its origin can be traced to freely roaming animals.

In the normal foot, the sesamoids are two pea-shaped bones located in the ball of the foot, beneath the big toe joint. Acting as a pulley for tendons, the sesamoids help the big toe move normally and provide leverage when the big toe pushes off during walking and running.

Sesamoid derived from Latin "Sesamum", meaning "sesame seeds" (due to small size of sesamoid bones). These bones display high degree of variability in size, location, penetrance and anatomical connection to the main skeleton across vertebrate species.
