I assume you are talking about the UK Parliament. The House of Commons is made up entirely of elected representatives; the House of Lords is made up of a combination of members of the Peerage, some of whom are hereditary and some of whom are 'life peers', i.e. people who have been ennobled by the monarch but who cannot pass their title down through their family. Other members of the Lords include the countrie's top judges, the countrie's top archbishops, and very senior members of the military top brass.
Members of Parliament (MPs) are elected through general elections or bi-elections by the residents of their constituency that are eligible to vote. The candidate with the highest number of votes is subsequently appointed as a Member of Parliament.

Those belonging to the House of Commons are referred to as a Member of the National Assembly (MNA), Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), Member of the House of Assembly (MHA), or Member of the Provincial Parliament (MPP).
