  1. They are called the bronchi

The smallest [air] tubes in the lungs are the broncioles they terminate the larger bronchi.
Inside your lungs the two bronchi tubes divide into small bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes then divide into bronchioles, which are even smaller air passages. Tiny air sacs, called alveoli, are on the ends of the bronchioles.
The small tubes located within the lungs are known as the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes function is to purify the air that is going into the lungs, when the bronchial tubes become inflamed and swell, Asthma attacks can occur.

How are the tiniest tubes in circulatory system are related to the air sacs?

The tiniest tubes in the circulatory system, known as capillaries, are closely related to the air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli. Capillaries surround the alveoli and facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the alveoli and the blood. This process allows oxygen to enter the bloodstream while carbon dioxide is expelled from the blood, highlighting the interconnectedness of the respiratory and circulatory systems in maintaining body oxygenation.
