The process by which glial cells are generated. This includes the production of glial progenitors and their differentiation into mature glia. Growth of glial cells, non-neuronal cells that provide support and nutrition, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system. 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 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. Glial cell growth that occurs in the perineurium, a cell layer that ensheaths projections of peripheral nerves, such as motor axons. The growth of a cell, where growth contributes to the progression of the cell over time from one condition to another. Generation of cells within the nervous system.
