We briefly review several aspects of the quasi-stationary structure of the corona in relation with the helio-sheet and, also, of the more confined by the magnetic field structures, including streamers, loops, jets, plumes and narrow linear rays. Both the temperature and the density structures are tentatively considered. Flows deduced from proper motions analysis are discussed. We did not include CMEs and flares in this presentation but other more radial and possibly highly impulsive beams with flows are discussed. We stress the importance of the variations of the coronal magnetic field and inferred currents in explaining the observed structures.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
