Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of axon extension. Long distance growth of a single process. Generation of a long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells. Long distance growth of a single axon process involved in cellular development. The long distance growth of a single cell process, that is involved in the migration of an axon growth cone, where the migration is directed to a specific target site by a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The growth of a cell, where growth contributes to the progression of the cell over time from one condition to another. Any process that modulates the rate, direction or extent of axon extension. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell, where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the organism over time from one condition to another. The process by which the structures of a neuron are generated and organized. This process occurs while the initially relatively unspecialized cell is acquiring the specialized features of a neuron. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of axon outgrowth. The process by which the anatomical structures of a neuron projection are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites. The process by which a cell irreversibly increases in size over time by accretion and biosynthetic production of matter similar to that already present. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate.
