Checking "connectedness'' of line shapefile in ArcMap?

I inherited a line shapefile in ArcMap that is used to represent a road network. The problem is that the road network is pretty large and it is impossible for me to:

a. Tell if the end of each line (road segments) is "connected" to either an edge, vertex, or the end of another line (road segment); and

b. Tell if the entire road network is "connected" - i.e., can I trace a route from any point on the road network to any other point on the road network?

  1. Tell if the end of each line (road segments) is "connected" to either an edge, vertex, or the end of another line (road segment); and
  2. Tell if the entire road network is "connected" - i.e., can I trace a route from any point on the road network to any other point on the road network?

Is there a way to accomplish this in ArcMap? That is, is there a function that will allow me to highlight line segments that do no connect to other line segments, or something similar that would allow me to answer the two questions above?
