In reality the oxygen system is quite sophisticated. It requires energy and air from the engine bleed to eventually be converted to oxygen. There are no oxygen tanks for the primary ventilation system. It is the complexity of this system, especially in cold weather, that is believed to be the source of hypoxia and a strong candidate as the primary cause of the one Raptor crash to date.
