Structures not found in the upper airway include the trachea, bronchi, and alveoli, which are part of the lower airway. The upper airway primarily consists of the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx. Additionally, structures such as the lungs and diaphragmatic muscles are also absent from the upper airway.
