What other cells work with the parietal cell?

Chief cells in the stomach work with parietal cells to produce gastric acid. Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, which is activated by the acid produced by parietal cells to form pepsin, an enzyme that helps break down proteins. Together, parietal and chief cells contribute to the digestive process in the stomach.
