It's called the "bronchial tree".

ok, think of your lungs as a cluster of grapes hanging upside down. The smallest branches are called bronchioles . At the end of each bronchiole is an "air sac" called alveoli .

Names of tubes that carry air to lungs?
The main air tube in your throat is called the trachea. You can feel its ridges of cartilage along the front of your neck. The trachea has two branches called bronchi which are also strengthened by cartilage. They lead to the lungs. The next smaller branches are called bronchioles; they are soft without cartilage since they are inside the lungs. The bronchioles lead to the alveoli where the work of the lungs takes place.
The smallest broncioles end in clusters of air sacs called alveoli where gases exchange in the lungs?
You are correct.
How do lungs look like trees?
Lungs have branching structures called bronchial tubes that resemble the branches of a tree. The bronchial tubes divide and become smaller, similar to how tree branches branch out into smaller twigs. This branching network in the lungs allows for efficient air distribution and gas exchange.
What is the smallest branches veins?
Venules
